And somebody recovered that prick? Wow, I'm sure that wasn't an easy job.

The Vasa does not have an immediate risk of structural failure, the researchers concluded. Still, the ship deforms a few millimeters every year. Given the extent of the wood atrophy, “It’s sort of a little bit too late to do anything,” said Bjurhager, who is focusing instead on preventing further deformation.

Go see it while you can, if that's what you're into.

Incredible looking ship. Amazing ... the workmanship of those days.
