''Georg Stage'' is a name used by the independent foundation ''Georg Stages Minde'' that was established in 1882 by the shipowner Frederik Stage and his wife Thea. They recognized the need for better skills assessment and training of Denmark's sailors so the ship serves as a training-platform for sailors in Denmark. The ship memorialized their son, who died from tuberculosis in 1880, age 22. == The ship #2 == The current ''Georg Stage'' is the second to be launched under that name. It was built during five months in 1934 at Frederikshavn Værft og Flydedok and was launched in 1934. It is a Danish iron-hulled, fully rigged, three-masted sailing ship. Its first tour started on . It has since been refitted several times, most recently with the installation of a Volvo Penta main propulsion engine on in 2007. Over a length of , a width of and draft of the ship spawns 20 sails with a total area of , with the tallest mast extending above deck height. The original figurehead that remains in use from the "old" ''Georg Stage'' built in 1882 and depicts its namesake. The ship has one tour per year, starting in April and ending in September, and has done so except during World War II; the mine danger was thought too significant so the ship was moored in Isefjorden. Following the war and until 1950, the ship each year took on two tours to recoup the war years. In 1956 the ''Georg Stage'' participated in its first regatta, the predecessor to ''The Tall Ships' Races''. The ''Georg Stage'' has continued to compete against the largest of the sailing ships such as ''Kruzenshtern'', ''STS Mir'', ''STS Sedov'', ''Alexander von Humboldt'' and ''Christian Radich''. In 1989 ''Georg Stage'' made its first cross Atlantic Ocean voyage and paired up with its predecessor that was renamed the ''Joseph Conrad''. 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「Georg Stage」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
