The 2nd of June, at 15:00, Götheborg arrived to Gothenburg after a one-year sailing adventure to officially kick off the 400-year jubilee with gun salute. Thank you everyone who came to the quaysides and followed us in boats on the water! It was a lovely welcome!

The visit takes about 45 minutes to an hour.
During the Jubilee Festival at Frihamnen, entrance to the ship is free of charge! Welcome on board!
Come on board and visit the ship! Learn about the history of the Swedish East India Company and the adventures of the original Götheborg that sailed three times to Asia. Hear modern tales of sailing an 18th century ship, feel the authentic atmosphere, and listen to everything from captivating stories to the tremendous art of shipbuilding.
On board Götheborg you will visit the beautiful weather deck with the helm, capstan and ship’s bell. Sundeck offers great views of the ship and masts, and down on gun deck there are ten impressive cannons. Don’t miss the two pieces from the original ship, one piece by the historical cupboard with porcelain and chalk pipes on gun deck, and the other one recessed into the helm.
Come prepared with all your questions!
After the Jubilee Festival the ship will return to its home berth at the pier on Eriksberg and will stay open to visitors during the summer. We will be open everyday 17 June – 20 August, 11:00–17:00 with guided tours every half hour (closed Midsummer Weekend). Ticket sales will open shortly. Stay tuned.
2–5 June we are moored at Frihamnen, Hisingen. Come and see us from the quayside or visit us during our opening hours. Welcome!

Tomorrow, 2 June at 15:00, we will arrive in Gothenburg to officially open the 400-year jubilee with gun salute. Come and welcome us home!! We would of course love to have some company on the water coming into Gothenburg, and welcome boats to join us! Already today, the 1st of June, you will be able to see us in the Gothenburg archipelago.
Meet the owner and a big heart behind Götheborg of Sweden, the world’s largest ocean-going wooden sailing ship. It was a purchase decision that came from the heart, rather than from rational business thinking, says Stefan Björk, founder and owner of Greencarrier Group and Götheborg of Sweden.
Hamburg was specifically chosen as a key stopover for Götheborg as Greencarrier (our owner) opened new offices in Hamburg in April. On Monday, we were very pleased to welcome especially invited customers, partners and friends of Greencarrier Group on board.
