Some history
The East Indiaman Götheborg is a replica of the East Indiaman of the same name (Götheborg), which ran aground in 1745 and sank at Hunnebådan in Gothenburg's harbor entrance.
The East Indiaman Gothenburg has a total length of 58.5 meters and the top
of the mainmast 47 meters
above the waterline.
In 1986, a marine archeological excavation of the original ship began. Construction began in 1995 and eight years later Gothenburg
was launched.
For 20 months between 2005 and 2007,
the ship sailed the historic route to
China and home again.
Since then, they have been out on a number of smaller expeditions in Sweden and in the rest of Europe, in
the summer of 2010 they participated
in the festivities around Crown
Princess Victoria's wedding.
The East Indiaman Gothenburg is classified as a passenger ship but
carries the Swedish East India Company's two-tongue flag, which
was awarded to the company
during its trading hours in the 18th
century and now again at the ship's
launch by the King, to look like a
naval flag in the distance and
thus scare away pirates.
Ravaged southern Africa
and Madagascar.

SO...
After sharing that information
with ya'll , let's take a walk
closer to the ship.
Really cool view 😍
And it gets better 😉
Let's get on board and see what
it looks like for real.
READY?
I am 😁 lol
Let's do this...
I know, not very exciting but I love
the rope and knots 😜 lol
And onboard it looks so cool!
But enogh with the knots and ropes,
lets check the cool Ship
equipment out.
Think you can find your way home?
And keep in contact with civilisation?
Copy that 😁 lol
Over and out...
🔹⛵🔹
AND..
Ofcourse you need a steering wheel
or you are pretty much screwed
right? 😁 LMAO
I love ALL things wood, so this boat is such a beautiful work of art.
Amazing ey?
And some cool map to find tressures?
Or Mabye just to keep track of where
you are going 😁 lol
A pin compass:
This simple wooden board was
formerly used to keep track of course
and distance traveled during a
4 hour session.
The different compass directions
are excellent with 8 holes.
Every half hour, when the ship's hourglass was turned, a mark was
made by the market owner based
on the course he kept according
to the magnetic compass.
For "eight glasses", the officer on
duty made an estimate of the
average course during the 4 hours,
based on the eight markings
on the board.
Pretty cool thing to have right?
And here some more equipment
Some amazingly old and cool things
A projector that showed movies and things when they were sailing.
And this is the area where all the meals
are, small space and as you can see
lots of Canons here 😜
Pretty cool place to eat right?
UNLESS...
The Canons was fired 😱 Ahhh
Pretty cool right?
And a look from inside 👀
Some bonus edits 😜 had to.. Lol
Some pictures from the ship deck
