Day 58 - Stockholm, Sweden - Vasa Museum

This museum had the Vasa in it -- "the only remaining, intact 17th century ship in the world." Go here for the full story. Make sure to read how it sank -- pride kills.

"Nebuchadnezzar" himself (see the story behind the sinking of the Vasa)


He was so proud, he considered himself among the Caesars (Augustus).

The course of the ships
