(Reuters) - The East Indiaman Gotheborg sets sail for a 2 year long voyage from Gothenburg, Sweden to China in this October 2, 2005 handout photo. The 'new' East Indiaman Gotheburg has been built according to traditional methods and has taken almost 10 years to complete. Her total length including bowspirt is 58.5 m. The biggest different from the original is the two 1,100 horsepower engines that can be used so save the expensive sails in bad conditions. The first stop will be Cadiz in Spain and she will reach her destination Shanghai in July 2006. (Bobbo Lauhage/Scanpix/Handout/Reuters)
