The Vasa is a famous ship built between 1626 and 1628. Now a popular museum in its capital city, the Vasa is a symbol of what country's "great power period"?

The Vasa is located in the harbor in Stockholm, and has been visited by almost 30 million visitors since 1961. Though majestic, Vasa was an ill-fated ship, and was built top-heavy and had insufficient ballast. She started to struggle just minutes after setting sail and when she was recovered in 1961, the remains of at least 15 people were found.
