Nearly 200 years after it sank into the sea, the galleon G\u00f6theborg is retracing its path around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, sort of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The original G\u00f6theborg, a trading vessel that belonged to the Swedish East India Company, sank in 1745.Despite going down in the G\u00f6ta \u00e4lv river near Gothenburg harbor, divers were first able to explore its wreck in the 1980s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A full-scale replica, dubbed G\u00f6theborg II, now stands proudly in Stockholm’s waters. In April 2022, it will set sail from Sweden and begin to retrace the journey of its namesake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though wind and weather conditions are always a factor, the ship’s planned itinerary features stops in London, Lisbon, Palma de Mallorca, Athens, Alexandria, Djibouti, Muscat, Chennai, Singapore, Ho Chi Minh City, Hong Kong and Shanghai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That route requires passing through the Suez Canal, which was the site of a global soap opera earlier this year when a container ship called the Ever Given got stuck there for more than a week, blocking other ship traffic and disrupting global supply chains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If all goes according to plan, G\u00f6theborg II will arrive in Shanghai sometime in October 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Docked in Sweden, the ship currently has 80 crew members. At each stop, new deck hands will come on and the member of crew members will grow by about 50, meaning that there should be about 600 people on board to help see the Goteborg II safely to Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
