A remake of a famous, historic Swedish sailboat, Gothenburg III will visit Guangzhou in July next year, possibly with the King and the Queen of Sweden touring with it. Swedish representatives led by the Swedish ambassador to China met on Monday (Dec 12) and discussed the arrangement with related Chinese departments. The Swedish delegation invited Guangdong citizens to come and visit the historic sailboat. The Swedish representatives and Guangdong representatives were very hopeful the King and the Queen of Sweden can come with the ship. It is expected that the sailboat will arrive Guangzhou on July 18th next year. Renewing works of 3 ports for Gothenburg III are now underway, and they will be finished in May, 2006. A 14-day exhibition will kick off on the ship’s arrival. Because the ship’s capacity is 200 people per hour, visitors may have to buy tickets. However, the ticket fare is estimated to be the same as a movie ticket.
