Historiske data for Wasa.
1625
Gustav II Adolf gav ordre til bygning af Wasa.
1628
Den 10. august begiver Wasa sig på jomfrurejse, kæntrer og synker i Stockholms havn.
1664
53 af Wasas 64 kanoner bjærges ved hjælp af en primitiv dykkerklokke.
1956
Anders Franzén finder Wasas vrag.
1959
Da marinens dykkere har afsluttet det vanskelige tunnelarbejde under Wasa, løfter bjærgnings-
selskabet Neptun skibet fra en dybde på 32 m og bugserer hende i 18 etaper ind på lav vand
udenfor Kastellholmen i Stockholms havn.
1961
Den 24. april hæves Wasa over vandoverfladen. Wasa pumpes læns og føres på egen køl ind
i Beckholmsdokken. Hun placeres på en specialbygget betonponton og den arkæologiske
udgravning tager fart. Der bygges et aluminiumshus over skibet. Om efteråret bugseres Wasa
på sit fundament til det nyopførte Wasaværft. Bjærgningen er dermed afsluttet.
1962
Den 16. februar åbnes Wasaværftet for offentligheden. Konserveringen af skibet begynder.
1963
Om sommeren begynder bjærgningen af løse konstruktionsdele og skulpturer - ialt over 14.000
dele - fra det sted, hvor Wasa forliste. Udstillingen "Livet ombord" åbner.
1964
Wasaværftet sammensluttes med Statens søhistoriske museum.
1965
En støttevæg monteres under skroget og tærede bolte erstattes med nye. Restaureringen ind-
ledes og et automatisk befugtningsanlæg for konservering af skroget tages i brug.
1966
Under arbejdet med restaureringen gøres flere betydningsfulde erfaringer om Wasas oprinde-
lige udseende. Seks vandreudstillinger om Wasa sendes ud til forskellige steder i verden.
1967
Dykningerne afsluttes. Sammenlagt registreres 3.500 bjærgede genstande ved disse efterun-
dersøgelser.
1968
Et ombygget Wasa pontonhus giver plads til at muliggøre en fortsat restaurering. I april åbnes
en udstilling på Wasaværftet, som viser hovedparten af skulpturerne, og hvordan restaurerin-
gen gennemføres.
1972
Den intensive befugtning af skroget afsluttes og erstattes af en overfladebehandling.

Historical facts on the Wasa.
1625
Gustavus II Adolphus orders the building of the Wasa.
1628
On the 10th August the Wasa casts off for her maiden voyage, capsizes and sinks in Stockholm
harbour.
1664
53 of Wasa's 64 guns are salvaged with the aid of a primitive diving bell.
1956
Anders Franzén locates the Wasa.
1959
After the Navy divers have completed the difficult tunnelling work under the hull the Neptune
Salvaging Co. raises the ship from a depth of almost 110 feet and moves her by 18 stages in to
shallower water off Kastellholmen.
1961
On the 24th April the Wasa breaks the surface. She is pumped out and moved in to Beckholmen
dock on her own keel. Here she is mounted on a specially-built concrete pontoon and the
archeological excavation of her interior begins. She is housed in an aluminium building and
in the autumn the entire unit is towed to the newly established Wasa dockyard. The salvaging
works is now completed.
1962
On the 16th February the Wasa dockyard is opened to the public. The preserving process also
begins now.
1963
In the summer divers begin salvaging the loose pieces on the seabed where the ship foundered.
The "Life on board" exhibition is opened.
1964
The Wasa dockyard is incorporated with the National Maritime Museum.
1965
A cradle is erected under the hull and the rusted bolts are replaced with new ones. The
restoration is begun and an automatic spraying device for preserving the hull is installed.
1966
Several significant factors relating to the Wasa's original appearance emerge during the
restoration work. Six travelling exhibitions on the Wasa are sent to different parts of the world.
1967
Diving on the site of the catastrophe finally ends with the recovery of a ship's boat which
presumably belonged to the Wasa. Altogether 3500 objects have been registered from these
operations.
1968
The pontoon building is rebuilt so that further restoration work can be carried out on the ship.
1972
The intensive spraying of the hull is replaced by surface treatment.
