Beer Tankard from the Swedish Empire dated to the Early 17th Century on display at the Vasa Museum in Stockholm, Sweden

Due to issues in keeping water fresh for long voyages, sailors were often issued beer to keep hydrated as the fermentation process made it last longer. The beer provided had a low alchohol content and there are records of sailors, especially officers, bringing their own wine and spirits on board.

If you do go to Stockholm, you must check out the Vasa Museum. It is amazing. Basically, this ship sank 20 minutes after launch in the 1600s and then in the 1970s they pulled it out and that's the whole museum. And this ship was FANCY! Like painted wooden sculptures all over it (left is the real ship, right is a model with the original colour)

(middle some Roman style carvings, bottom left is a repainted relief based on colour analysis, bottom right are the materials and colours used to paint the ship)

They also had some sailors trunks that were sealed for all those years and opened in the modern day. They contained, among other things, board games (left) and this very warm looking pair of mitten (right)

This ship was an absolute disaster, but if it hadn't sunk when and where it did, we wouldn't have this amazing example of a historical wooden ship today.

[ English-below ] Niezwykłe i jedyne w swoim rodzaju Muzeum Vasa! Zobacz wspaniały okręt wojenny i poczuj się jak na planie "Piratów z Karaibów" xD

Okręt Vasa jest najpiękniej zachowanym XVII-wiecznym okrętem na świecie i można go oglądać w specjalnie dla niego wybudowanym muzeum w Sztokholmie. Jest jedynym w swoim rodzaju skarbem sztuki gdzie 98% statku jest wykonane z oryginalnych części i zdobią go setki rzeźb.

Całość zobaczysz w moim odcinku na YouTube.

See a wonderful warship and feel like you're on the set of "Pirates of the Caribbean" xD The Vasa ship is the most beautifully preserved 17th-century ship in the world and can be seen in a museum built especially for it in Stockholm. It is a one-of-a-kind art treasure where 98% of the ship is made of original parts and is decorated with hundreds of sculptures.

A noodle around the Vasa in Stockholm yesterday. It was childhood wish fulfilment. I grew up in Portsmouth where we have the HMS Victory, Warrior, and Mary Rose as museum ships.

Vasa is kind of the missing link between Mary Rose and Victory. She also trailblazed much of the archaeoloy and conservation techniques subsequently deployed for Mary Rose. Both the Vasa and Mary Rose museums have been built around the dry docks both ships were brought back to once lifted from the seabed.
