Warship Vasa, on a dry day


Warship Vasa, on a dry day, originally uploaded by miquel_martin.

Yes, that's a 17th century Warship inside a building. And the only real one you'll ever see, by the way. Built top-heavy, it sailed a few (under 5) miles before sinking for good. The cold waters have kept the worms at bay and today it's housed in the Vasamuseet in Stockholm. A worth sight!

Sí senyors, això és un vaixell del segle 16 dintre un edifici. I l'únic real que veureu, per cert. Disenyat amb el centre de gravetat massa alt, va navegar unes poques milles (menys de 5) abans d'enfonsar-se. La fredor de l'aigua el va protegir dels cucs, i avui dia, es troba exposat al Vasamuseet a Stockholm.Val la pena visitar-lo!

If you'd like some more info on this picture, there's a bunch of extra details in flickr.
