An 18th-century Swedish East India Company ship has made its return to London this week for the first time in 15 years.

The Götheborg, the world’s largest ocean-going wooden sailing, passed under Tower Bridge on Monday morning and is expected to make its way across the River Thames throughout the day before mooring in Canary Wharf.
