The Vasa was a royal ship built for the Swedish king. It rolled and sank in the harbor on its first ceremonial day! It sunk so quickly and into deep mud that it was lost for centuries. When rediscover and raised they found extra sails packed away in chests that were almost pristine. But a SILVER wedding gown, can you imagine how lovely that would have been? I wonder if the bride ever wore it? Or was she traveling to meet her new husband and didn’t get the chance? Oh the tales we could spin.
