Had to find where this was, apparently it’s in Stockholm. [https://www.vasamuseet.se/](https://www.vasamuseet.se/)
I know the Goonies set when I see it
Vasa! But she also had a very short sailing distance 🙃
The irony is that this ship is perfectly preserved precisely because it couldn’t float
What about HMS Victory?
I visited this in Stockholm, done the tour and everything. They bigged it up so much, then showed us where it sank. A literal stones throw from the harbour lol.

Best-preserved submarine maybe.
Here’s the outside of the building for anyone like me who thought “Huh those masts look kinda short”

Why is the title in quotes?
What about any current warship
The carving on it looks so unreal tho
The irony that the worlds best preserved warship also might be the worlds most useless warship.
This famously unstable warship shares the name with a manufacturer of Swedish crispbread, also known for cracking under pressure.

Then there’s the USS Constitution which has been sailing since 1794…and it floats.
Considering my extensive experience with assassins creed black flag, I can confidently say that’s a big boi
One of the best museums i have ever been to. Must go when visiting Stockholm.
Went to the Vasa Museum the last time I was in Stockholm and it was absolutely incredible but another really good museum near by is the The Viking Museum. It has a really great ‘ride’ at the end all about Ragnfrid’s life, it’s kind of cheesy but I love cheesy things and it was amazing.
was there, it’s a must see.
I saw a video about this thing last week. It’s super interesting about how much of a failure it was in design and execution and pollution saved the ship.

A ship so unstable it’s capsizing *in the museum*
Perfectly preserved, objectively terrible warship. It is really cool and interesting, but it is kind of a bad example of warships at the time considering it was so top heavy it rolled over 1.3 km into its maiden voyage.
I’ve been here and the pictures don’t do it justice. It’s really amazing and intricate.
Is One-Eyed Willy’s gold still there?
It was on the water for 20 minutes and then sank because the ship was a terrible design
HEY YOU GUYS!
