I noticed that non-npcs stand out.
Even when they look generic and have an unenlightened mind, even at a first glance I just look at them and think, "this is a person I want to talk to."

Part of the story; It sank inside Stockholm's inner waters, near the shore. Yet, over the centuries, the location was forgotten (the whole incident was too embarrassing) and it had to be found anew in the 20th century.

This is what happens when dudes with big ambition (King) think that they know more about ship building than any person alive in the world right now. Reminds you of anyone?

An elaborately carved stern of 17th Century AD, Swedish warship Vasa. Sculptures depict a collection of ancient myths, biblical stories, and is designed to display a message of Swedish king, Gustavus Adolphus's courage and power. This photo also shows vessel’s four stern gunports, which were meant to house 24-pounder guns.

Vasa sank during 1628 AD, on her maiden voyage and was preserved by icy waters and salvaged up largely intact during 1961.
