El buque de guerra sueco del s. XVII, Vasa, se hundió en Estocolmo el mismo día de su inauguración en 1629. Afortunadamente para las generaciones venideras, el buque se conservó intacto en las aguas de la bahía y hoy podemos admirarlo en el Museo Naval Vasa, en la isla de Djurgården, Estocolmo.

El Vasa (conocido también como Wasa,1 Wasan o Wasen) fue un navío de guerra sueco construido por órdenes del rey Gustavo II Adolfo de Suecia, de la casa de Vasa, entre 1626 y 1628. El Vasa naufragó en su viaje inaugural, el domingo 10 de agosto de 1628, tras recorrer poco más de un kilómetro en el puerto de Estocolmo por inestabilidad. El buque fue rescatado el 24 de abril de 1961 y tras su reconversión en barco museo, se puede visitar en el museo homónimo en la isla de Djurgården en Estocolmo.
The Vasa Museum (Swedish: Vasamuseet) is a maritime museum in Stockholm, Sweden. Located on the island of Djurgården, the museum displays the only almost fully intact 17th century ship that has ever been salvaged, the 64-gun warship Vasa that sank on her maiden voyage in 1628. The Vasa Museum opened in 1990 and, according to the official web site, is the most visited museum in Scandinavia. Together with other museums such as the Stockholm Maritime Museum, it belongs to the Swedish National Maritime Museums (SNMM). (Wikipedia)
Vasa is a Swedish warship built between 1626 and 1628. The ship sank after sailing roughly 1,300 m into her maiden voyage on 10 August 1628. She fell into obscurity after most of her valuable bronze cannons were salvaged in the 17th century, until she was located again in the late 1950s in a busy shipping area in Stockholm harbor. The ship was salvaged with a largely intact hull in 1961. She was housed in a temporary museum called Wasavarvet ("The Vasa Shipyard") until 1988 and then moved permanently to the Vasa Museum.

Born in Yugoslavia, Vasa has lived in Los Angeles since his arrival in the United States in 1960. He is an academically trained painter and was a professor at the University of California, Los Angeles in the Department of Design and Media Arts. He taught theories of color to understand interdependence and interaction of color and form, color and quantity, color and placement, and after-image.[1]
Now retired as a professor emeritus, Vasa focuses on his conceptual art practice. His studio, designed to accommodate the technology required for his work, is located in the heart of Los Angeles. He makes laminated acrylic sculptures that reflect and refract light.[3] He has had solo exhibitions at galleries in the United States, Japan, Italy and Serbia, including the Museum of Contemporary Art, Belgrade, the San Diego Museum of Art, and the Palm Springs Desert Museum.
Vasa is best known for his sculptures made from colored pieces of acrylic. Untitled from 1975, in the collection of the Honolulu Museum of Art, demonstrates the effect of these minimalist sculptures. The Denver Art Museum, the Hammer Museum (Los Angeles), the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden (Washington, D.C.), the Honolulu Museum of Art, The Phillips Collection (Washington, D.C.), the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium (Brussels), the San Diego Museum of Art, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and the Wilhelm Lehmbruck Museum (Duisburg, Germany) are among the public collections holding work by Vasa Mihich.

Photo I took of a nearby Lutheran church and then used some painterly effects on it.
Le Musée Vasa (suédois : Vasamuseet) est un musée maritime situé en Suède à Stockholm, sur l'île de Djurgården.
Le musée conserve le seul navire presque entièrement intact du XVIIe siècle jamais récupéré : le navire de guerre Vasa de 64 canons qui a coulé à la sortie du port lors de son voyage inaugural en 1628.
Vasa (or Wasa) is a retired Swedish warship built between 1626 and 1628. The ship foundered after sailing about 1,300 m into its maiden voyage on 10 August 1628. It fell into obscurity after most of her valuable bronze cannons were salvaged in the 17th century until she was located again in the late 1950s in a busy shipping lane just outside the Stockholm harbor. Salvaged with a largely intact hull in 1961, it was housed in a temporary museum called Wasavarvet ('The Wasa Shipyard') until 1988 and then moved permanently to the Vasa Museum in Stockholm. The ship is one of Sweden's most popular tourist attractions and has been seen by over 35 million visitors since 1961.[3] Since her recovery, Vasa has become a widely recognised symbol of the Swedish 'great power period' and is today a de facto standard in the media and among Swedes for evaluating the historical importance of shipwrecks.
The ship was built on the orders of the King of Sweden Gustavus Adolphus as part of the military expansion he initiated in a war with Poland-Lithuania (1621–1629). It was constructed at the navy yard in Stockholm under a contract with private entrepreneurs in 1626–1627 and armed primarily with bronze cannon cast in Stockholm specifically for the ship. Richly decorated as a symbol of the king's ambitions for Sweden and himself, upon completion she was one of the most powerfully armed vessels in the world. However, Vasa was dangerously unstable and top-heavy with too much weight in the upper structure of the hull. Despite this lack of stability she was ordered to sea and foundered only a few minutes after encountering a wind stronger than a breeze - Wikipedia

The Vasa sank and has been lifted from the sea bed in remarkable good condition. In the foreground the model, in the background the actual ship. Definitely worth a visit!
Took this one morning on my way to work. I work in the City Hall. You can see the tower in the background!
Possibly my last proper summer shoot of 2016? At least it was one of them. This particular photo shows a bridge next to the Parliament building in Stockholm.

In the large shiphall stands the warship Vasa - the only remaining, intact 17th century ship in the world. The lower rig has been rebuilt, complete with masts, stays and shrouds.
