I found these very interesting old videos on how they built a 1:1 replica of the Götheborg, a trading ship built by the company East Indiaman in Sweden.


The Götheborg wrecked just outside of Götheborg harbour in 1745.

 

Construction of the replica started in 1995 and the completion in 2003.

 

I absolutely loved these videos so I thought I’d share with anyone who hasn’t seen them.
