The story
The ship was built in 1898 as a cargo sailer at the shipyard of Johannes Thormählen in Elmshorn. The ship was considered an excellent sailer, but due to its shallow draft was mainly used for sailing to ports in the North Sea and Baltic Sea, and did not receive an engine until 1912.
Making-of
The old reddish-brown sails, which date from the first conversion of the former cargo sailer into a sailing yacht in 1968, arrive in Beniarbeig, Spain, after a week’s transport from Greifswald in Germany.
