GAIA is a 60 foot gaff-rigged ketch, built in 1921 as a
North Sea sailing trawler without an engine. During World War II, she was
captured by the Germans while smuggling refugees from Norway to the Shetland
Islands. In 1968, she was imported to Denmark and completely rebuilt as a
working trawler. By 1978 she was upgraded to yacht standards and began
a career as an Operation Sail and charter vessel. Recently brought from
Venezuela to Canada. |

Sons, New York, in 1928 under the title Some Famous Sailing Ships and
Their Builder Donald McKay which was written by one of the great
builder's descendants. Includes 58 b&w illustrations and four in color.
