Vasa” was a Swedish ship, which was considered the most high-tech warship of those times. The story of what happened to the ship still remains a mystery among experts. Despite being one of the Swedish navy’s biggest achievements, Vasa sank within twenty minutes of setting sail, on this day in 1628. It claims 30 lives.

Engineering problems sank the ship – but this disaster has become a boon for archaeologists. In the XXI century, it was pulled from the bay and 98% of the ship’s original wood was still intact, making it the world’s best-preserved ship.

The remains of the ship can be found in Stockholm’s Vasa Museum. According to the museum, it is the only preserved 17th-century ship in the world, and the museum is a place for historical and anthropological study as well as for visitors from all over the world.

“The most spectacular warship ever built” is beautifully depicted on this coin.
