Astrid is a traditional square-rigged brigantine, sailing thousands of miles every year.  She was built in 1918 in Scheveningen in the Netherlands and first served as a cargo ship.

Built in 1917-18, the Dutch three-masted schooner Oosterschelde originally worked undersail as a freighter along the African coast and around the Mediterranean.

As the largest square rigger in the world, Sedov never fails to impress.  She is imposing and majestic with great deck space and large saloons making her great for entertaining at the major maritime festivals.

Europa was originally launched in Germany in 1911 and was restored in Amsterdam in 1994 for sail training, powered by 1,250 square metres of sail.

Tall ship she may be, but the Mir is not very old.  Launched in Gdansk in 1988, she is one of five tall ships built in Poland for the various Russian marine agencies in the late 1980s.

The Mare Frisium was first launched as a Dutch fishing logger in 1916 before becoming a cargo ship and then finally undergoing a transformation into an authentic and beautiful three-masted schooner.
