Vasa -- the not so little viking ship that couldnt.

Wow, how embarrassing is this. Commission some huge battle ship with double decker cannons and ornate statues, crack that bottle of champaigne on it before its maiden voyage, wave as it pulls out of the port, and then watch as it topples over after hoisting a few sails! Well, thats more or less what happened to the Vasa. It sat around unnoticed on the sea floor right outside the stockholm for a couple hundred years until somebody took notice 50 or so years ago, dredged it up and put it all back together one piece at a time. It was pretty cool to look at -- unfortunately with its size and the dark lighting it was hard to get a decent picture of.

That second pictures of me right after visiting the Vasa museum, and just before heading back to get rid of all that hair Id accumulated! Wow it feels nice to be semi clean shaven again =)
