The Swedish East Indiaman replica merchant ship Gotheborg began her maiden voyage on October 2. She is following the route of the original 18th century ship and sailing into an eastern dream. The voyage will last for almost two years, and cover 37,000 nautical miles. News of her epic voyage precedes her, and flowers and wine are waiting at every port. In the Far East, China is eagerly expecting this old and new friend. Three docks in Shanghai are competing to be her berthing place, and the Humen dock in Guangzhou will be rebuilt as her first port of call in China. We believe the new Gotheborg will become a new legend.
