Swedish Warship Vasa' was recovered from the seafloor in Stockholm, Sweden, on the 24th of April, 1961. It stayed underwater for 333 years and was still astonishingly well-preserved.

@normsmusic Ultra-low mileage and one owner before before being preserved in deep storage.

@normsmusic I wonder if the drivers ever got clotheslined by power or phone lines.

@Coctaanatis @normsmusic That looks so unwieldy I bet they had to drive it slowly. Think of how easy it could roll over in turns at even moderate speeds. So I kind of doubt it happened much. (He says when talking about electrical lines and strangulation.) There are probably VERY good reasons why a similar system isn't used today.
