History
This two-mast vessel was launched as the 'Graaf van Limburg Stirum' and put into service for herring fishing. In 1925 the logger was taken out of commission In 1935 the vessel was sold to a Dane and renamed Tecla. A motor was built in and until 1978 the small coaster was transporting freight like grain, stones and fertilizer between different Danish islands. Meanwhile the ship has returned to the Netherlands and a considerable renovation gave it a new purpose as a sailing charter ship at sea.News

The gloomy mood of our first mile on the way to `The Battle of DrakeŽ is suddenly interrupted when Klaas yells out `Whale off the starboard bow!”
All the crew reacts promptly and even de masts bend over to starboard to see what’s going on. The goodbye-to-Antarctica sadness prompts everybody to feast their eyes on this last antarctic treat.
Somebody somewhere must have thrown a small fortune in the whale-machine. We get to see four whales playing together in a quarter of a mile circle around Europa. Every lack of a diving whale tail in any camera is made good.
The four are toying with us: disappearing and surface right next to our ship, swim under the ship from port to starboard, wave a white fin at us, demonstrate skills in backstroke… Antarctica does not let us go yet.
A ship full of people applauds the whale-show and is two bits less sad for the moment.
