Götheborg of Sweden is a sailing replica of the Swedish East Indiaman Götheborg (I), launched in 1738 (not to be confused with the larger Götheborg (II), built some decades later). All sailors survived when the original ship sank off Gothenburg, Sweden, on 12 September 1745, while approaching the harbour on her return from a third voyage to China.
