Back then, most of the ship's cargo was salvaged and the cannons and rigg were also taken out of the water.
More than 200 years later, in December 1984, the Swedish Maritime Archaeology Society in Gothenburg carried out the first dives on the wreck. This led to the idea to reconstruct the ship.
Author Anita Steiner participated in the excavation of the East Indiaman Götheborg, through documentation of the findings and the people that worked on the project.
We are very proud to announce that Anita Steiner will be at the ship this Saturday! She will give two lectures (in Swedish) about both the excavation and about the creation of the popular books "Jacob sails to China" and "Tånge Sjötroll".
