Barque

The Norwegian sail-training ship Statsraad Lehmkuhl back at the start of a new season.

I didn't know she was due, so it was nice to see her in the harbour in the sunlight. A difference this time is that she had on board people stuck in Norway by the eruption. I imagine the coaches are there to collect them, and take them to Stromness for the ferry to the mainland. A pretty different way to get home.

Here is the ship's interesting history.
