Orginally thought to have been built in Poland in 1960's further investigations revealed that it may actually have been built by Russians in 1955. The ship was then converted to a Brigantine in 1992 by Dutch designer Olivier Van Meer using drawings. A ship that was familiar with the Baltic Sea for many years as a charter vessel, we're delighted its making its debut at FMF this summer.
