Photo Paolo


EUROPA was built in 1911 under the name of “Senator Brockes” at the Stulcken shipyard in Hamburg, at the request of the city of Hamburg. The ship was put into service as Elbe 3 lightship on the river Elbe, and later worked as a stand-by vessel.
In 1986, Harry Smit brought the ship to the Netherlands. Over a period of 8 years, the ship was completely rebuilt and rigged as a three-masted bark.
The rebuilding and conversion to a sailing vessel was carried out under the supervision of the Dutch Shipping Inspection, Bureau Veritas and Register Holland. She sails with worldwide certificates from each of these authorities and she complies with the highest requirements for sailing ships.

Eurydice disse...

Bem... estou ROXINHA de inveja!... ;)

Este é o mundo onde gostava de viver: nos barcos e no mar... Nunca fui longe num navio, mas é aquele sonho sempre por realizar: a viagem de meses, em que o importante fosse o caminho e não o destino.

Curiosamente, se já fiz muitas e longas viagens de avião, de barco só conheço o Tejo... :))

É a vida!... ;)
