Book Fair at Svenska Mässan

We will be at the book fair at Svenska Mässan between Thursday and Sunday this week, located on ground floor in booth nr B10:81 next to the escalator and opposite of the Café.

On display and for sale will be three of our most popular books:

The incredible journey, in both Swedish and English, written by our master ship wright Joakim Severinsson. Joakim documented the ship’s construction during the marine archaeological excavation of the original wreck. During the building of our ship, he therefore also became the master ships wright, and no one knows more about the building of the ship than him!  The Incredible journey takes us from the first dive attempt all the way to China and back; the whole story since Joakim is the only one who has actually been involved since start.

Jacob sails to China, in both Swedish and English, written by Anita Stein. This childrens book is an adventure where we get to meet Jacob who sneaks onboard the East Indiaman Götheborg after an argument with his mother and accidentally joins a voyage across the world to China and back. Anita will visit our booth on Saturday at 14.00 to sign her books.

 

The Swedish ship sails again, in English/Swedish written by Ingrid Arensberg. This book tells the story of our ship Götheborg, the building and sailing to China 2005-2007. A grand adventure where the crew gets to learn how to sail an East Indiaman for the first time since the 18th century. Ingrid will join us in our booth on Friday at 14.00 to sign her book.

Feel free to swing by and enjoy the smell of tar and tall ship talking!
