Bark Europa

The Special purpose sail training ship EUROPA was built in 1911 in Germany at the H.C. Stülcken und Sohn Shipyard in Hamburg as the "Senator Brockes". Till 1977 it was in use by the German Coast Guard as a lightship on the river Elbe. In 1985 a Dutchman bought the vessel (or what was left of it) and in 1994 she was fully restored as a barque (three mast rigged ship) and now roams the seas of the world in the best seafaring tradition.

Photos of a ship like this in the Antarctic are stunning, absolutely stunning. It could almost be the Discovery eg "At anchor Cuverville Island".
