Schooner Grossherzogin Elisabeth
Black and White conversion of the Schooner Grossherzogin Elisabeth. The Grossherzogin Elisabeth was built in 1909 as a trading schooner called San Antonio. In 1936, their rig was dismantled and her diesel engine was replaced with a stronger one. She then traded as a motor coaster until 1971 when she was sold to German owners who refitted the rig and reconstructed her to the sail passenger ship Ariadne.
In 1982, An Elsfleth ship owner took her to her new home port, where she has been ever since, and used as a hostel and training ship for ship’s mechanics and nautical officers.
