Artemis

History

Tall Ship Artemis was built in 1926 in Norway. She was a whaling vessel, named after the Greek hunting goddess. Until the 1940s she was sailing the Arctic and Antarctic Oceans in search of whales. Then, in the 1950s, she became a freighter vessel. In those days she sailed mainly between Asia and South America.
Since 2001, under the flag of Frisian Tallship Company she sails with guests in the European waters.

The inside of the Ship is very nicely decorated and has a warm maritime ambiance.
