Thanks to all nearby boats, all the crew survived. Repeated attempts with varying success were made to salvage the valuable cargo, which was worth as much as the national budget. Speculations was fervent. An insurance fraud? Rudder problems? A drunken captain? Eventually the Swedish East Indiaman Götheborg was forgotten, until 240 years later when a diver rediscovered her and began a marine-archaeological excavation. The attention surrounding the find and the excavation whetted people´s appetites, and led to the slightly crazy idea of rebuilding the entire vessel - in full scale using  traditional techniques - and sailing to China once again.
All ingenious ideas have a degree of madness. It is there fore good to know that adventure lives on, and madness still flourishes at the Terra Nova shipyard. The very same madness  takes the replica "The Swedish Ship Götheborg" to China.
