Från vrak till världsklass // From wreck to state of the art
- TODAY 392 years ago, on the 10th of August in 1628, the warship Vasa sank on her first journey, in Stockholm harbour. A catastrophe at the time, but today the salvaged ship is a treasure and an invaluable object from that continuously gives us new knowledge. #OnThisDay
- On this day at the time 09:03 AM in 1961 the Vasa was raised. But only 3 of its 64 cannons were found. Now we’re launching a search for the other 61. vasamuseet.se/finding-the-va… #findingthevasacannon #thevasamuseum
- Idag öppnar Vasamuseet igen! Kom till oss och njut av att komma riktigt nära skeppet samtidigt som vi håller omtänksamt avstånd till varandra – en kanonlängd är lagom. news.cision.com/se/vasamuseet/…
- What is happening here? Right now, the Navy's largest ship Belos is at Vasa's sinking site, to help us in the search for one of Vasa's lost cannons. We will keep you posted on the results. #findingthevasacannon

- In the 1660s most of Vasas 64 cannons were rescued and sold. When the ship was rescued in 1961, the gun carriages remained in their places aboard, still today reminding about the missing cannons. In the project #FindingTheVasaCannon we find out more. vasamuseet.se/en/collections…
