This is Artemis
Artemis is a three-masted barque active as a sailing charter ship sailing mostly in the Baltic Sea and northern Europe.
History as a whale catcher, minesweeper and cargo ship
The ship was built in 1926 by the Norwegian shipyard Nylands Verksted in Oslo and was named as Pol II. Originally the Pol II was 57 metres (187 ft 0 in) long. The whaler measured at 240 gross register tons (GRT), had a steam engine with an output of 135 horsepower (101 kW). The ship was used as a whaler in the northern and southern polar seas until 1940, then went info military service as a minesweeper for the Royal Navy during World War II and was listed as a ship in Nortraship's register.
Conversion to a classic sailing ship
The ship is now operated by Tallship Company in Franeker, Netherlands, which also operate the ships Atlantis and Antigua. The ship's 100th-year anniversary is planned to take place in the harbour of Larvik in Norway on July 24–26 in 2026. The sister ship Stedemaeght was built the same year as Artemis originally named Pol IV and was also converted to a sailship in 1991 offering charter from Lelystad, the Netherlands.
