Talk: A Tall Ship to Antarctica

  • 13 September 2017 7-8:30pm

In December 2008 I set sail on the Tall Ship Bark Europa from South America, for a three week voyage to Antarctica. Europa is a 100 year old Dutch 3-masted barque, and as voyage crew I would be helping to sail her across the Southern Ocean, to the South Shetlands and then along the coast of the Antarctic Peninsula.

In this talk I hope to give you a flavour of the amazing experience of Tall Ship sailing, and of the incredible scenery and wildlife of Antarctica, with visits to remote islands.

Suitable for

  • Any age

Admission

£5
