Friends of Götheborg of Sweden

THE WORLD'S LARGEST OCEAN-GOING WOODEN SAILING SHIP

The original ship played a crucial role in Göteborg's prosperity in the 18th century. The replica we have today is the impossible project that became reality when it was launched in 2003, after nearly ten years of work. With thousands of hours from volunteers, support from businesses, and the city's engagement, the ship today is a unique platform – the world's largest ocean-going wooden sailing ship.

PRESERVE AND DEVELOP

Our association promotes the ship through both financial and practical support. We spread knowledge about the ship's history and its lessons for the future. Together with you, we want to contribute to the ship's wellbeing and ensure she remains an important part of the city of Göteborg. Here lies a unique platform for collaboration and community development.

SUPPORT THE SHIP

Do you want to join us on this journey? Become a member and support the Friends of the East Indiaman Götheborg. Become one of us!

If you want to support the ship without becoming a member, you can always send a gift. We gratefully accept all donations.
