Ingo

Ingo is a three-masted sailing vessel moored in Gothenburg that welcomes visitors aboard. The wooden hull built from oak and pine shows craftsmanship from its era, and the interior conveys how people worked and lived on the ship.

The ship was built in 1922 at Sjötorp shipyard and served from the start in training sailors. Its long history as a training vessel earned it protection as a listed historical monument.

The vessel serves as a working classroom where visitors experience daily life aboard and discover traditional sailing methods firsthand. People come to understand maritime customs and feel the connection to Sweden's seafaring heritage.

Visit on pleasant weather days when the deck and stairs are safe to navigate. Wear sturdy shoes since movement on a ship is confined and surfaces can become wet.

The ship carries the radio call sign SIXW and can take on board more than 90 passengers, making it an active sailing vessel that still makes voyages today. This combination of museum and working ship sets it apart in the harbor.
