Hi all
Today the replica of the trading ship that sunk in Gothenburg 1725 set sail for her maiden voyage to China.

In approx 5 months she will reach China after sailing along the old trade routes. She will visit Cadiz, Recife, Capetown, Freemantle, Jakarta, Canton before Shanghai. It is a beautiful autumn day here and thousands of small boats escorted Gothenburg out from the harbour. Really a great adventure for her crew and a once in a lifetime chance to feel something close to the age of sails.
