Behold, Götheborg – an amazing 18th century ship reborn. It claims to be the world’s largest ocean-going wooden sailing ship. On its recent year-long expedition around Europe, the ship had around 90,000 visitors! ⛵

Now in its home port of Gothenburg, more visitors are invited to explore the ship’s rich history as part of the city’s 400-year jubilee. 🎉
