From Monday 26th of October to Friday 30th of October, the Götheborg of Sweden is open with a special family program.
Of course, there are guided tours on the ship, but there is also plenty to do for the children, such as painting porcelain, tasting tea, playing board games, relaxing in our reading corner and trying on historical clothes. And all of this in a historic atmosphere with a scent of tar.
Monday 26th of October–Friday 30th of October
11.00–15.00
During the day, we offer the children (with their parents) and pupils a short tour on board.
The entrance fee is the same as during our regular weekend opening hours:
Adults: SEK 150
Children 7–16 years: SEK 70
Children 0–6 years: Free
Family (2 adults + 2 children): SEK 370
The entrance fee includes, among other things, trying out porcelain painting. You may take home the bowl you paint. If a child under the age of 7 wants to paint, the bowl costs SEK 25. The same requirement if you want another bowl in addition to the one included in the entrance fee.
Tickets can be purchased both on our website and on-site in our shop.
Greencarrier och Göteborgs Stad är överens om att vilja skapa en långsiktig hemvist för Ostindiefararen vid Masthuggskajen. Målet är att fartyget ska spela huvudrollen i ett nytt historiskt upplevelsecentrum som ska stå klart 2031, och bidra till ett mer levande kajstråk nära Järntorget.
During the evening we will be joined by Mats Berggren, who during the construction period represented the Swedish Maritime Administration as a determined and persistent inspector, and Marie-Louise Edholm, who took part in building the rigging, has sailed with the ship, and has been responsible for the maintenance of the rig. You will gain insight into traditional craftsmanship, material choices, and the many challenges involved in combining historical authenticity with modern safety and operational requirements. If you were involved during this period, perhaps you have a story of your own to share. We would love to hear it! About halfway through the lecture, coffee and pastries will be available for purchase. All proceeds will go directly toward the re-rigging of the ship. Registration is free of charge. Please register by emailing: vanner@gotheborg.se A warm welcome! The Friends of East Indiaman Götheborg Association
Following growing interest in the future of the East Indiaman Götheborg, Greencarrier now presents detailed plans for a new permanent quay location and an adjacent experience center at Masthuggskajen in Gothenburg. The ambition is to create a new destination in the city ahead of the 300th anniversary of the Swedish East India Company in 2031. The first vision images are now being presented.
