The ''Europa'' is a steel-hulled barque registered in the Netherlands. Originally it was a German lightship, named ''Senator Brockes'' and built in 1911 at the H.C. Stülcken & Sohn shipyard in Hamburg, Germany. Until 1977, it was in use by the German Federal Coast Guard as a lightship on the river Elbe. A Dutchman bought the vessel (or what was left of her) in 1985 and in 1994 she was fully restored as a barque, a three-mast rigged vessel, and retrofitted for special-purpose sail-training. ''Europa'' cruises worldwide and accepts paying voyage crew (trainees) for short or long trip segments, including ocean crossings, Sail Training Association races, and annual voyages to Antarctica, and between South Georgia, Tristan da Cunha, and Cape Town. In 2002 and 2013 she rounded Cape Horn. In 2010 she participated in Velas Sudamerica 2010, an historical Latin American tour by eleven tall ships to celebrate the bicentennial of the first national governments of Argentina and Chile.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Velas Sudamerica 2010 )〕 In 2013-2014 ''Europa'' circumnavigated the world together with two other Dutch tall ships, ''Tecla'' and ''Oosterschelde''. They sailed from South Africa to Mauritius, Australia and New Zealand. In October 2013 ''Europa'' participated in the International Fleet Review 2013 in Sydney. From New Zealand, the ship sailed an official Cape Horn rounding (October - December 2013). In June 2014 ''Europa'' completed her circumnavigation by arriving in Amsterdam. ==Gallery== Image:Bark Europa cape town.jpg|''Europa'' sailing in front of Table Mountain, South Africa Image:Europa ship.jpg|''Europa'' sailing off Ushuaia, Argentina Image:The Dutch barque Europa in a shipyard in Cape Town in May 2012.jpg|''Europa'' in a shipyard in Cape Town, South Africa Image:Shipyard workers at the Dutch Bark Europa - Cape Town in May 2012.jpg|Shipyard workers at work, Cape Town - South Africa Image:Galions figure on the bow of the Dutch Bark Europa - Cape Town in May 2012.jpg|Figurehead with Europa and the bull 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「Europa (ship)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
