[Public-List] In Lunenburg

[Gordon Laco via Public-List]

Hi there 

Must have been another ship... Back in '66 she was a tramp steamer not converted to sail yet.  

She was built in England in the late '20's, survived WW II as a minesweeper then became a sail training ship after conversion in Lunenburg relatively recently. 

Cheers
