Description:
25/11/2023, Muelle Deportivo de Las Palmas, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Islas Canarias, Spain.
A converted ex pilot boat, now a Danish owned schooner.
Built in 1959 at Kiel, Germany ?? as a pilot boat, in which capacity she was engaged until being sold to Poland in 1966.
The vessel was renamed 'Doker' and converted to a fishing boat.
She served in that capacity until the late 1980's.
After that the ship changed owners a few times and came into the custody of a Dutch owner, who renamed the ship 'Bonaventura', and sailed her to Amsterdam.
The vessel spent about 30 years in Dutch ownership, and was then sold to the Neptun Association, renamed 'Neptun' and now operates from Marstal, Denmark.
These photos show her on her first major adventure sailing voyage.
