2022_Tall Ships Races_Antwerp

Visit Antwerp with Tony A. while the Tall Ships were in the harbour. The next day, we also visited Doel, where we could see some of the participating ships leaving Antwerp...

Some of the pictures were taken with my mobile, others with my DSLR (Canon 5DmkIV + EF24-70mm F/4 L IS USM & EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM).

    The Gulden Leeuw started her life as Dana in 1937. She was sailing for the Danish government an ocean-going, ice class ship. During that time she was often conducting marine biological research. In the 80's she was used as an offshore support ship, and after that the Danish Nautical School employed her to train their students in becoming experienced seamen. The P&T Charters bought Dana in 2007. The new owners have transformed her into a three-masted topsail schooner she is today, and renamed her as "Gulden Leeuw" (Golden Lion). Completely restored by 2010, in 2013 the Gulden Leeuw received the STI award for the “Most innovative initiative”. In 2017 she was named the Sail Training Organisation of the Year for "excellence, innovation and best practice in sail training for young people."
