Oscar II Fort
Oscar II Fort is located in the Gothenburg inlet and was built between 1899 and 1907. The fort would serve as a modern defence for the city. The fort has been untouched since the Second World War. Thoose are some cool 10 inch cannons!

Oscar the II’s fort is located at the inlet to Gothenburg and it’s harbor.
It was constructed in the late 1800 and served to protect Swedens largest harbor. Militär anläggning. I Göteborg anlades inte så stora fort som i Bodens fästning, men Göteborgarna fick detta fort för att skydda Sveriges största hamn.

Louis Vuitton America's Cup World Series racing surges into Gothenburg, Sweden - Unravel Travel TV
The America’s Cup fleet descend upon Gothenburg, Sweden for the Louis Vuitton America’s Cup World Series, with racing from August 29-30, 2015. Sweden boasts a centuries old tradition of sailing and first challenged for the America’s Cup in 1977. Today, some of the world’s finest professional sailors hail from the country, including local hero Olympic champion Freddy Lööf, a critical crew member of the America’s Cup Swedish syndicate ARTEMIS RACING, the hometown favorite heading into Gothenburg.
Artemis Racing has a multinational crew comprising some of the most successful and respected sailors and designers in the world. Collectively, the sailing team has competed in 23 Olympics Games, winning 11 medals, 7 gold. Artemis Racing represents Kungliga Svenska Segel Sällskapet (KSSS – the Royal Swedish Yacht Club), the fifth-oldest yacht club in the world.
The hub for the Louis Vuitton America’s Cup World Series was the 50,000 square meter Race Village in Frihamnen, in the heart of Gothenburg. Visitors could enter the area for free and enjoy activities, concerts and entertainment during the entire event. August 27th 2015 was the designated Tech Day when the AC45F’s are launched and the teams prepare for racing. Then Friday, August 28th 2015 marked the official Training Day at the Race Arena in Långedrag. Practice racing took place during this time. Four point scoring races were planned for Saturday and Sunday, August 29th-30th, 2015 and the team with the best overall result from these races wining the event.
Spectators could follow the racing up close from the shoreline surrounding the Race Arena in Långedrag, from spectator boats on water or on wide screens in the Race Village. Additionally, Oscar II Fort, a facility overlooking the racecourse, was opened up for visitors for a charge of 50 Krona during the races.
The America's Cup is the oldest trophy in international sport, dating back to 1851, when the yacht America, after which the trophy is named, beat the best of the British fleet in a race around the Isle of Wight, U.K. The trophy won on that day was donated in trust through a Deed of Gift and has since become a symbol of immense achievement. It is perhaps the hardest trophy in sport to win. In it’s 165-year history, only four countries have managed to win the America’s Cup. The America's Cup is currently held by the Golden Gate Yacht Club in San Francisco, U.S.A.. On September 25, 2013, its team, ORACLE TEAM USA, completed the biggest comeback in sports to retain the trophy it had first won in 2010. On December 2, 2014, Bermuda was named as the home of the 35th America’s Cup, with the iconic Great Sound as the race course area where the new America’s Cup Class boats (15-meter, foiling, wing-sailed catamarans) from each competing nation will race for the America’s Cup in May/June 2017.
