from the old one

We were in the harbour and this boat catch my attention. It's like the boat in Pirate of the Caribbean but it is not. "Götheborg"(boat name) few years old and the copy from the old old boat that  sank many years ago. The authority decided to build a copy from the old boat that look exactly the same. This have been sailing from Gothenburg to China that takes 5-6 months to arrived the destination.
Year 1995 was the start of the construction,the launch took place on 6 June 2003. April 2004 visited China that brought the symbol for trade, cultural exchange and friendship between Sweden and China.
I wonder about the spelling "Götheborg"( the name of ship) as pronounce in Swedish but not the right spelling. I asked my husband why?then he said this is the old spelling ,name of the old boat "Götheborg" or Gothenburg in English that actually spells in this word"Göteborg".

At this days...lot of Swedish company located in China..
