I remember it well. I feel the public was tricked into donating, believing the whole Ship was going to be raised like the Vasa. What we got for our money was, 'two thirds of one half of one Hull.' Some of the artefacts are worthy of a museum but the remainder of the Ship is not!
I was 13 and watching it on tv live. I remember being quite disappointed, as in my youthful naivity I expected it to be a complete ship with masts and everything.
My earliest memory. Watching it with my Dad. Age 4.
