OVERVIEW
This famous three-masted barque is one of the largest remaining wooden ships in commission. Built in 1948, and re-built in 2013, she presents a rare opportunity to acquire a wooden classic and comes with unusual celebrity status having starred in many films such as ‘Return to Treasure Island’, ‘The Three Musketeers’, ‘David Copperfield’ and ‘Shackleton’.
Fully restored following a multi-million pound refit (which saw over 55,000 man hours), she is one of the most significant restoration projects of recent times and would now make a great charter vessel or tourist attraction.
She’s currently based in Bristol and available for viewings.
