The Gotheborg


The Swedish ship Gotheborg was in town at the Vivocity Promenade today, and we had a taste of what it was like to see what we always imagined as a pirate's ship (it's not!).

This ship is on a historical voyage from Sweden to China and back. It left Sweden on 2 Oct 2005. After stops in Vigo, Cadiz, Recife, Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, Fremantle, Jakarta, Guangzhou, Shanghai, and Hong Kong, the ship finally arrived in Singapore waters on 30 December 2006.

It was fantastic that we now had ships calling to port at a convenient location next to Vivocity, which opened its doors in November 2006, looking very much like a huge shopping mall in America. It is the Singaporean's favourite haunt right now.
