Tall Ship Europa - a photo on Flickriver

Tall Ship Europa

            This beautiful ship participated in the Tall Ships Festival in Vancouver (Steveston)  in 2002 ... it was a thrill to see such magnificent ships.

The EUROPA was built in 1911 on the Stülcken wharf in Hamburg, Germany. She was first named as 'Senator Brockes'. The original client who ordered the ship was the State of Hamburg. The ship was built to serve as a light ship on the German river Elbe. Called 'Elbe 3' she indeed served as light ship and later she was first reserve.

In 1986 the ship was brought to the Netherlands. In 8 years' time the ship was completely renovated and re-rigged. The conversion was both inside and out. Inside the ship all cabins were modelled and of course the galley and common areas were established. The exterior changed as well: the ship was re-rigged into a three masted barque.  The homeport of the ship is Scheveningen, The Hague,  Netherlands. 

The ship can house 48 trainees and 16 crew. The EUROPA is an official Sail Training Vessel. Being such a type of ship you will be mustered as a trainee and joining in the activities on deck. Getting instructions from the crew on how to sail EUROPA is a real part of the experience on board. This way not only holiday seekers populate the ship but also students of the Maritime schools join the ship.
