Seamanship : A Manual for Square-Rigger Sailing |
Conn |
In
1936 in Hamburg, a splendid three-masted sailing ship was christened
Horst Wessel in the presence of Adolf Hitler and thousands of cheering
Nazis. It became a training vessel for naval officers during World War
II. After Germany’s defeat, the U.S. Coast Guard found its young crew
terrified and half starved. The Coast Guardsmen brought the Germans, so
recently their mortal enemies, back to life; the Germans, in return,
taught them the ways of the beautiful square-rigged ship, rechristened
Eagle. In time, Eagle would become the Coast Guard’s elite school ship
— the barque of saviors. Uncannily linking Eagle’s malign past and
its American present is a Coast Gua rdsman named Karl Dillmann, who
believes that the spirit of a young German sailor drowned in a U-boat
explosion inhabits his soul. The voices of Dillmann and other crew
members are heard throughout the book, as are, incredibly, the voices of
young sailors on the Horst Wessel. Drumm has obtained
never-before-published logbooks from the war years, affording
fascinating new insights into both the ship’s everyday life and its
moments of high drama. A supremely gifted journalist and a vivid,
lyrical writer, Russell Drumm knows Eagle intimately. His love of the
ship, and of the sea itself, enriches every page. The courage and
sacrifice of the “greatest generation” are alive and well today in
the dedicated members of the U.S. Coast Guard. |

 Fast
and Able Life Stories of Great
Gloucester Fishing Vessels
-Capt. Jeffrey
Thomas was a Gloucester high-liner, who lost his life at the wheel of his
schooner Adventure in 1934. His son Gordon began collecting photographs of
schooners when he was thirteen. By the time he was done, Nautical Brass
called him “the man who has done most to document the history of the
great Gloucester fishing schooners.” Fast and Able, first published in
1952, is Thomas’s masterwork, a series of “life stories” of
legendary Gloucester schooners. This fiftieth anniversary edition

A
voyage to Antarctica or one of the surroundings islands is the
absolute top within tourism nowadays. It is an almost pure area
with an abundant wildlife. The overwhelming power of a glacier,
descending from a 2500 meter high summit, and of icebergs
floating around the vessel is hard to describe. Penguins, seals
and whales join us and thanks to the southern summer,
temperatures average above freezing.”
Afterwards
there is a fifth expedition of seven weeks from Ushuaia to
Capetown, South Africa. During this expedition the ship will
call again almost at all spots in Antarctica as the 22
days expeditions.
From Antarctica the EUROPA will sail with prevailing westerly
wind to South Georgia. Here you
anchor in different bays for one week. Ten days after leaving
South Georgia you
arrive in one on the most remote island of the world: Tristan da
Cunha. After a stop of a few days EUROPA sets sail for the last
part to Cape Town.
Please
contact them for a comprehensive information package of the
expeditions. Furthermore you can find a short voyage description
on the website www.barkeuropa.com.

as top-sail schooner for the South American hide trade.In 1923 she was
sold to Sweden and carried general cargo under the name Merry. Three years
later her first engine was installed and gradually her rig was reduced and
altered to a ketch but after a fire in 1969 when her wheel house and poop
deck were destroyed, her old iron hull was sold to square rigger
enthusiasts who began rebuilding her. During the 1970s she was fitted out
as a brigantine in Faversham, Kent and circumnavigated the globe as her
first voyage as the Eye of the Wind. |
