There were also hundreds of thousands of spectators lining the shore to welcome the ship home.ĭuring the last 10 years, Götheborg has called at 93 port in 23 countries. On its return home to Gothenburg after the trip to China, the ship was met by the Swedish King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia, together with the President of China, Hu Jintao, who had come to Gothenburg for the ship’s arrival. The ship was built to sail to China, which generated a very high level of interest from the People’s Republic of China and its leadership. Götheborg is also fully equipped with modern technology to meet current safety standards. The rigging alone took 100,000 hours to produce. No drawings or plans survived, so the builders had to research the construction process. To build the 58.5 metre ship, 1,000 oak logs and 50 kilometres of pine were used.
It was built with the same materials and construction methods as the original, including h and-forged nails, hand-made blocks and hand-woven rigging. The original ship sank off Gothenburg, Sweden, on 12 September 1745, while approaching the harbour on a return voyage from China.Ĭonstruction of the replica at the shipyard at Hisingenlt started in 1995, and took 10 years. The ship is a replica of an 18th-century Swedish East Indiaman. “This is a tough decision that we’ve been forced to make,” he said. In a statement, the chairman of the foundation, Lars G Malmer, said that despite negotiations with “various interested parties”, it had no choice but to sell the Götheborg “as the financial conditions do not allow to continue to run the operations”. For other reasons please contact us to get a return authorisation.The Ostindiefararen Götheborg Foundation is now looking for new owners for the replica 18th century Swedish ship.
