Gotheborg

We went to Fremantle today (TP's first mother's day) and while there we visited the Gotheborg, a Swedish tallship that was built using traditional methods.

The ship was open to the public and there were absolutely stacks of people looking it over.

The crew at least seemed to be enjoying chatting with everyone who came aboard.

The attention to detail is magnificent. This is the main figurehead. Even the spars have their ends carved into claws.

The Gotheborg is in Fremantle until the 25th May, 2006. It's at Victoria Quay between C and D shed. Check it out.
