| In April 2023, the Götheborg of Sweden, the world's largest ocean-going wooden sailing ship, played a pivotal role in a maritime rescue off the coast of France. On April 25th, a sailing vessel named Corto experienced a rudder failure while over 50 nautical miles from shore. The crew issued a distress call, which was promptly answered by the Götheborg. Despite the significant size difference between the two vessels, with the Götheborg measuring approximately 50 meters and the Corto just 8 meters, the Götheborg's crew successfully towed the disabled sailboat through the night. The following day, they coordinated with a French search and rescue boat from Paimpol to ensure the Corto's safe passage to port. | In April 2023, the Götheborg of Sweden, the world's largest ocean-going wooden sailing ship, played a pivotal role in a maritime rescue off the coast of France.
