  • built in Holland in 1932, this ship belonged for a long period to the Queen-mother, Wilhemina of Holland, and was called after her at that time.
  • after changing owner (Jo und Helli van Zadelhoff) she was renamed as the "Peloris Jack" (after a legendary dolphin), port of operation was Holtenau, GER.
  • since 1992 registered in Germany in Greifswald, GER.
  • extensive tours in the North and Baltic Seas, participation in many North and Baltic sea-port sailing events such as the Kieler Woche and Hanse Sail Rostock.
  • the ship's crew attaches great importance to traditional sailing methods on board, e.g. setting sails, navigating, pulling alongside, laying off, keeping watch and clearing the ship. Passengers can carry out all of these functions.
  • 2008 renamed the "Königin Wilhelmina" again.
