Ostindiefararen Götheborg invites you to a unique charity auction, in collaboration with AntikWest, supporting cultural heritage and the preservation of the ship’s history.

We’re opening the gates to Ostindiefararen’s pier, and throughout the day entry is free—both to the ship and all Auction Day activities.

On this special day, we offer exclusive and unique items, many with fascinating connections to the voyages of the Swedish East India Company in the 1700s, as well as treasures directly linked to Ostindiefararen Götheborg. Don’t miss the chance to meet Björn Gremner, a leading expert on Chinese porcelain and a regular on the Swedish Antikrundan (Antiques Roadshow), as he shares captivating stories about porcelain’s journey through history. You’ll also have the opportunity to attend a book talk and signing with author Lars-Olof Lööf, presenting his book Sailors and Supercargoes—a detailed account of the seafarers of the Swedish East India Company (SOIC).
