This thing has engines but the sails work too. The first ship Gotheborg sank just outside Sweden when returning from its 3rd voyage. A second, larger ship was built titled Gotheborg II which was lost during its 3rd voyage. Now this one, Gotheborg III technically, managed to finish its 3rd tour.

Honestly if that thing pulls out I’m expecting Davey Fucking Jones to be in command.

The arrival of the Götheborg on the scene was rapid and surprising, as we did not expect to see a merchant ship from the East India Company of the 18th-century. This moment was very strange, and we wondered if we were dreaming. Where were we? What time period was it?

I’d assume pirates.

“Man we haven’t even got to touch the Gotheborg even once since we installed those engines…”
