The Christian Radich

Quite by chance, we encountered the Norwegian sailing ship Christian Radich right after it had docked in port. From what we could tell, a group of people had been undergoing a multi-day sailing experience, for which they received certificates of completion from the captain.

The Christian Radich is a full-rigged, three-masted steel hull with an overall length of 73 meters, delivered to its owner in 1937. It gained worldwide fame when it appeared in the 1958 movie “Windjammer.” To see how beautiful this ship is under sail, please go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Radich

Must be a great adventure to work on that ship for a few days, but also hard labouir.
