|
Kaskelot is the flagship of
the Square Sail fleet and is based out of her homeport of
Charlestown, Cornwall, UK (though registered to Bristol). She is a
three-masted barque and one of the largest remaining wooden ships in
commission. The Kaskelot was built in 1948 by J. Ring Andersen for
the Royal Greenland Trading Company and brought supplies to remote
coastal settlements in East Greenland. During the 1960s, Kaskelot
worked as a support vessel for fisheries in the Faroe Islands.
Square Sail purchased her in 1981, then renovated her, redesigning
and re-rigging her to replicate the Terra Nova. She has been used
for filming movies, and is also used for sail training programs.
