I would love to own some of her' cannons! I wonder if the decision to leave her where she lays was in part because of the human remains they found on the bottom??!!

According to the first reports, they found quite a hoard of silver coins.

I don't think the human remains were the cause; I think more like the depths of the wreck and the fragility of the ship; the Swedes have enough problems keeping the Vasa together at the moment.
