Replica of 18th century Swedish ship “Gotheborg” leaves Shanghai

The replica of the 18th century Swedish merchant ship “Gotheborg” bid farewell to Shanghai Saturday after its record two months of berthing in China’s largest commercial center.

During the period, the ship received about 83,000 visitors since it arrived in the metropolis on Aug. 29, and more tourists came to the dock where it had been staying to visit an exhibition showcasing sea voyage culture and the friendly exchanges in history between China and Sweden, local tourism authorities said.
