Summary

[edit]
Description

On 18 April 2015, for the first time after a hundred year long gap, Dumfries welcomed the arrival of a tall ship of the size of La Malouine that entered the river Nith and docked at Kingholm Quay harbour. The sailing vessel was on a six-day passage from Granville in France to Dumfries via Workington after having been acquired by Roy Kerr of Port of Dumfries Development Group. I was told that the ship was caught in a pretty bad storm during its journey but was brought in safely by its crew.

Built in Gdansk, Poland, the ship was converted into a brigantine by the Dutch designer Olivier van Meer in 1992, and, named ‘Willem’, enjoyed a career in the charter business at the Baltic Sea, carrying sailing guests, taking part in match races and participating in many sailing ship events. In 2010 it was sold to a French owner and re-named ‘La Malouine’.
