Nancy Pelosi was excited when she heard the news....she remembered when the ship capsized during her teenage years.

Wikipedia: “The ship was salvaged with a largely intact hull in 1961. She was housed in a temporary museum called Wasavarvet (”The Vasa Shipyard”) until 1988 and then moved permanently to the Vasa Museum in the Royal National City Park[2] in Stockholm. The ship is one of Sweden’s most popular tourist attractions and has been seen by over 35 million visitors since 1961.”
