Tomorrow, 26 August, at 4pm the ship Götheborg will arrive at Skeppsbrokajen in Stockholm. We will leave Sandhamn about 8.30 and the route into Stockholm is via Kanholmsfjärden and Oxdjupet.
We're really excited about the interest in seeing Götheborg on her way to Stockholm! Unfortunately we cannot give any exact times for when she will pass different spots on her way into Stockholm, as that is dependent on a number of factors and our main focus is to arrive in Stockholm on time. 💨💦☀️
However, the ship can be followed in real time on Marinetraffic.
For those of you that have asked questions about the stop in Sandhamn. The stop was a planned stop to prepare the ship for the Stockholm visit. Now she's fully rigged! 🙌
If you want to visit the ship while she's in Stockholm, we will be open to visitors Friday to Sunday, 27-29 August. Book your tickets here. The ship will be in Stockholm until 4 September.
Follow us on Facebook for a livestream of the arrival.

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.
