Vasa is a giant Swedish warship built between 1626 and 1628 to become the flagship and the pride of Sweden. The ship foundered after sailing about 1,300 m (1,400 yd) into her maiden voyage on 10 August 1628. She was located in the late 1950s in a busy shipping lane just outside the Stockholm harbor. Salvaged with a largely intact hull in 1961, it was eventually moved to the Vasa Museum in Stockholm.

The Royal island of Djurgarden is one of the main attractions of Stockholm and a favorite vacation spot of its inhabitants. The island is officially called Kungliga Djurgarden - "Royal Safari Park". It is located near the city center and was once a favorite hunting ground of the Swedish kings.
