The series “A Voyage Chasing the Sun” would accompany a famous ship on an epic voyage from Europe to China. The ship’s name is the Gotheborg, and she is a replica of the tragic vessel of the same name that, in 1745, suffered a mysterious fate. She inexplicably sank within sight of her home in Gothenburg, carrying with her to the seabed a priceless cargo of Chinese teas and silks and porcelains. The idea was that the new Gotheborg would, just as her illustrious namesake had done, make the voyage all the way from Gothenburg in Sweden, to China. This time, though, the ship would have, among her crew, two CCTV reporters, who would accompany her throughout the entire epic voyage. You may remember that, not so long ago, New Frontiers brought you eleven parts of a series called: A Voyage Chasing the Sun. Those programmes covered the first few legs of the new Gotheborg’s voyage, which took her as far as South Africa. Now, in the next eleven episodes of New Frontiers, we’ll accompany the ship as she completes her journey.
