The degradation of the warship Vasa is decelerated with scientifically built cradle

The ship Vasa breaks down slowly. The hull of the ship has irreversibly weakened. The Vasa Museum uses the help of researchers to create a support structure that will support the hull without interfering with the museum visitors' experience of the powerful ship, and for the ship to be retained for future generations. In order to construct the support structure, one must understand how the chemistry in the wood affects the strength. The Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research has helped funding the research and has produced this film that tells about the work.
