Year Built: 1918

This beautiful square-rigged ship offers great sailing with a modern, luxurious interior. But this does not at all affect the admiring looks the ship receives with her enormous amount of sails, lines and yards.

Astrid was built in 1918 as a herring drifter. Until about 1970, she served as a motor ship on the Baltic Sea. During the late seventies the ship was used by the new Lebanese owners for ‘’dark’’ jobs during the war in the Near East. There was a suspicion of drug smuggling. A fire under the English coast ended all this. Until 1984 the still elegant hull rusted unused. Then the rebuilding began to a traditional brig, enabling her to cross the Atlantic Ocean as a training ship. The 'Astrid' was extensively rebuilt in 1999 and 2000.
