EUROPA arrives today June 13, at 14 p.m.
This latest arrival is quite a symbol! It comes to us from Sheveningen, the marina of The Hague, finish line of the Tall Ship Regatta. Many sailboats present at the Armada will take the start of this major international race on Monday June 17 from the Bay of Seine.
EUROPA is a training ship of the Netherlands. She was built in 1911 and restored in 1994 into a three-masted barque. EUROPA has since sailed all the seas and oceans of the world. The crew is made up of 14 professionals and 48 team members. They hoist, together and in complete safety, the sails to destinations reflecting past maritime adventures. The Mahogany interior gives it an even more authentic atmosphere for extraordinary voyages.
