SAILING AGAIN

This ship - Götheborg - is Swedish
and it´s a sailing replica of an 18th century
Swedish East Indiaman -
a wooden sailing vessel.

The original sank 1745.
The exterior remains true to the original.
It´s one of the largest full-rigged
wooden sailing ships in the world.

In October 2005 this ship
left Sweden to visit:
South-America, South-Africa, Australia,
Thailand, China, France and Great Britain.
It returned to Gothenburg June 2007.
