STV ''Astrid'' was a long tall ship that was built in 1918 in the Netherlands as a lugger and originally named ''W.U.T.A.'', short for ''Wacht Uw Tijd Af'' meaning "Bide Your Time". She was later transferred to Swedish ownership, renamed ''Astrid'' and sailed on the Baltic Sea until 1975. She then sailed under a Lebanese flag and was allegedly used for drug smuggling. After being found burnt out on the coast of England in the early 1980s, she was overhauled and used as a sailing training vessel. She was based in Weymouth, Dorset, United Kingdom and was informally known as "Weymouth's vessel". ''Astrid'' ran aground off the coast of Ireland on 24 July 2013, and subsequently sank, with all on board rescued. She was salvaged on 9 September 2013, but as the cost of restoring her was too high she was scrapped and broken up by April 2014. == Structure == ''Astrid'' was a dual-masted, square-rigged, iron/steel-hulled tall ship.〔〔 She was in length, with a beam, a draught and a mast height of .〔〔 In addition to her sails, she also had a small Scania Ds 1402 four-stroke diesel motor for propulsion.〔〔〔 ''Astrid'' was the smallest tall ship in the Dutch fleet.〔 As built, ''Astrid'' had a gross register tonnage of 182; she was 143 net register tonnage with a capacity of 123 tons under her deck.

The lower deck had twelve 2-person cabins (of which three could be used as 3-person cabins) as well as showers, toilets and a galley.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「STV Astrid」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
