Götheborg III films

If you are looking for a little nautical entertainment, I highly suggest visiting the Götheborg III website if you have not already done so. The site features dozens of short films made by the ship's onboard videographer who has been covering the entire voyage from Sweden to China. Plenty of both placid and petrifying sailing, nasty gales in the Indian Ocean, and wonderful welcome parties in Spain, Brazil, and Shanghai--all with plenty of cannon firing fanfare.
And don't worry, there's a button on the page that turns it all into English for you.
You will find the link for "The East Indiaman Götheborg" in the column on the right.
