About this audio guide
This guide to Jubileumsparken in Gothenburg is about the free port that once filled this waterfront, and the banana boats that made its neighbouring pier famous across Sweden. It follows the locals who took casual shifts unloading them, and a museum educator's blunt description of what the job demanded. Best heard out on the pier edge, looking across the water toward the old Banana Pier.
