The tall ship model is built exactly to scale as the original Wasa was with many details. The task required skillful craftsmen hundreds of hours to accomplish.The Wasa was commissioned in the 17th century, by the King of Sweden to be his country’s finest warship. During construction, he insisted that the ship is fitted with a second row of cannon on both sides. The shipbuilder "Henrik Hybertsson" knew that this would make the ship top heavy, but he dared not argue with the King.
The Wasa sunk 20 minutes after her launch in 1628. She was raised on April 24, 1961, after 333 years on the sea bottom and completely restored, she now rests in the Stockholm Naval Museum.The model measures 38" long from bow to stern.
