King Gustave II of Sweden when the country was the dominant military force in the Baltic.
Wasa was
to be the most powerful and beautiful warship ever to sail the seven seas. She measured 220 feet in length, had masts that
were 150 feet high, and carried more than 150,000 square feet of sails. After three years of construction by over a thousand
skilled craftsmen, she was launched on October 10th 1628.
Overloaded with cannons and gold sculptures, the ship
went no more than 15 yards on her maiden trip. A sudden gust laid her on her beam-ends. Water rushed in through the open gun
ports and, within a matter of minutes, she went down in over 100 feet of water.
She remained under water for more
than three centuries until 1959 when the Swedish government spent $3 million to pull her from the sea floor and transfer
her to Statens Sjohistoriska Museum on the Stockholm waterfront. Wasa’s more than a thousand sculptures and fragments
constitute the largest collection seventeenth-century wooden sculpture in the world. Today, she is the most popular
tourist attraction in Sweden. This
ship is part of my new "Exclusive Edition" models. Each model is uniquely identified by a
serial number, which is laser cut to the hull of each model. With this number, we will be able to identify the date of a model,
the material that we used on the model, the craftsmen who worked on each area of the model, the individual who inspected the
model and also the professional packaging staff, who finally packed the model into shipping box. We put quality as a
priority, thus we thoroughly supervise all steps of the ship building from beginning to end.
