World's Largest Wooden Sailing Ship - a photo on Flickriver

Götheborg of Sweden is a sailing replica of the Swedish East Indiaman Götheborg I, launched in 1738. The original ship sank off Gothenburg, in 1745, while approaching the harbour on her return from a third voyage to China. After 30 months at sea, and with only 900 m (3,000 ft) to go before the vessel reached its berth, it crashed into a rock.
Examination of the wreck site ware carried out during the summers 1986–1992. The divers found many porcelain shards, undamaged porcelain, and among other things cannonballs, lead shots, and objects belonging to the officers and crew.
Construction of the replica started in 1995, with the hull launched in 2003, and the rig fully tested for the first time in 2005. Much of the time was spent researching how to rebuild the replica.
After various tests and achieving its safety certificates, the ship sailed for China in October 2005. Hundreds and hundreds of boats accompanied the ship out into the open sea. The vessel returned to Gothenburg in June 2007.
