Do these actually have to be ships that can sail under their own power? Or can we post sail ships that are beautiful but no longer sail?

The USS Eagle is a beautiful vessel.

Who could forget about that 1st rate beauty? Here's another good one, the Swedish warship Vasa.

This is quite something. What is the story on how she ended up here?

I know this! The Vasa. A newly made Swedish first-rate. It mounted heavy guns on the top decks and the gun ports were especially low. She stayed afloat during her maiden cruise for about 20 seconds. She sank in the mud, and, after recovery a while ago, she's now in the museum.

Stockholm's iconic Vasa warship has scored ninth place in a list of the top museums on the planet! even people who usually start snoozing at the words 'maritime' and 'history' tend to find the Vasa Museum a fascinating place where they are given the chance to step back in time as well as learn about some of the cutting edge techniques being used to preserve the vessel.
