Have you checked the Swedish East India Company? In tribute, they are
building an East India ship replica, the "Gothenburg" which will sail to
China to commerate the company's history, which made many journys (ies?) to
the Far East, from donations. They also have live "webcams" so you can watch
an old wooden ship being constructed. I last visited it when they completed
one of the "gunports" and it is very exciting for one who excavated a circa
1730 ship in the land fill of lower Manhattan Island in New York City one
winter. The replica's original sank mysteriously on its return just as it
neared the Swedish harbor in the 18th century.
