We're now open to visitors in Gothenburg

The Swedish Ship Götheborg is a historical visitor’s destination in the city of Gothenburg and a ship loaded of experiences. A genuine working ship with a vibrant history, scarred by harsh storms and marked by thousands upon thousands of nautical miles on the seven seas. Here, visitors get to know everything from captivating stories to the tremendous art of shipbuilding in a contemporary 18th century environment during a guided tour on board. 

We're looking for volunteers next week!

Spring is truly here, and we’ve started getting ready to rig all three topmasts. We’re now looking for help with applying tar to the standing rigging. You’re welcome to join us for anything from a full week to just half a day. Unfortunately, we can’t offer accommodation, but we do provide lunch and have work clothes available. Please bring clothes you don’t mind getting dirty to wear underneath, depending on the weather. If you’re interested, please send an email to volunteer@gotheborg.se
