Vasaorden (barge) explained

Vasaorden is a Swedish royal barge originally constructed in 1774 based on a design by Fredrik Henrik af Chapman. It is used for ceremonies such as state visits and royal weddings.

It is long and wide.[1]

After the original barge was destroyed in a fire on 8 August 1921, an exact replica was constructed and launched in 1923.[2] [3]
