Gothenburg is a full-scale replica of a merchant ship from 1700 with the same name, which in 1745 ran aground and sank while entering the Port of Gothenburg. The ship is from the heyday of these ships - incredibly beautiful and well-proportioned. That probably explains why someone has spent a fortune building a full-scale replica. One can only be captivated by the beauty. Back then you bought shares in ships and if you were lucky you could make a lot of money, but also lose money - because some ships went down and then both the investment and the big profit were gone.

The model ship is of the finest handmade quality.

It measures 80 x 18 x 76 cm
Model ships are available in many qualities

The smallest are small souvenir ships and then there are quite a few relatively cheap models which do not always look very similar.

The finest are hand-made models, which have exact scale ratios, nice lacquer and nice fittings in different metals.
