Gotheborg is a replica of a vessel, owned by The Swedish East India Company, formed in 1731 in Gothenburg. The Swedish East India Company was trading tea, porcelain and silk in China.On the homeward voyage from China one of the Company’s ships foundered in 1745. When almost in home-port, the ship ran aground on a well-known underwater rock. It rapidly took on water and sank.The SOIC (Svenska Ostindiska Companiet) was formed in 1993 in order to recreate a copy of the foundered vessel.The Götheborg was built with the main dimensions, alignments, hull and rigging in conformity with a Swedish East Indiaman of the 18th century.The launching took place on June 6th, the Swedish National Day, year 2003. The maiden voyage is expected to depart from Gothenburg in 2005 and will take about two years.
