voyage to the bottom of the sea

• Götheborg Sails Again

The Vikings are back at sea, and this time they come in peace. Some 500 years after Scandinavians first explored North America and more than 200 years after Sweden declined as a world power, a new ship is embarking on a goodwill voyage meant to recreate a bit of Swedish history. The tall ship Götheborg left Sweden in October on a two-year odyssey that will take it across the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific oceans before she reaches her final destination in China. The original Götheborg sank mysteriously within sight of home 260 years ago, taking its precious cargo of Chinese porcelain, silk and tea to the bottom of the sea.
