The Wasa of 1828 was the most ornately decorated vessel of her time. She was commissioned by the King of Sweden and was this country's finest warship. During construction, the King insisted that the ship be fitted with a second row of cannon. This made it top-heavy and she sunk just 20 minutes after her launch. She was raised from the ocean in 1956 and now resides, fully restored, in the Stockholm Naval Museum. There is a catch though - in order to keep the ship from disintegrating, she has to be constantly sprayed with sea water and chemicals.
