''Kaskelot'' is a three-masted barque and one of the largest remaining wooden ships in commission. The ''Kaskelot'' was built in 1948 by J. Ring-Andersen for the Royal Greenland Trading Company, to carry supplies to remote coastal settlements in East Greenland. During the 1960s, ''Kaskelot'' worked as a support vessel for Danish fisheries in the Faroe Islands. In 2007, for the bi-centennial celebration of Great Britain's ending the African slave trade, the ship was sailed up the Thames River to Tower Bridge in London to represent the ''Zong.'' This slave ship, its crew and cargo of slaves figured in court proceedings in 1783 and became a symbol for the nation's anti-slavery movement because of the murder of 132 slaves during the voyage. The current owners purchased the ship in 2013, and undertook an extensive refit at T. Nielsen in Gloucester. The ship is used for charter and commercial work around the UK. == Film credits == ''Kaskelot'' has appeared in the following film and television productions: * ''The Last Place on Earth'' (1985) * ''Revolution'' (1985) * ''Return to Treasure Island'' (1986) * ''The Three Musketeers'' (1993) * ''Cutthroat Island'' (1995) * ''Swept from the Sea'' (1997) * ''A Respectable Trade'' (1998) * ''David Copperfield'' (1999) * ''Longitude'' (2000) * ''Shackleton'' (2002) * ''Amazing Grace'' (2006) 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「Kaskelot (tall ship)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
