History/Additional

'Pelican' was originally built in 1948 in Le Havre, France, as a double-beam Arctic trawler, serving as such until 1967. The ship was then operated in Norway as a coaster until 1995, when the ship began rebuilding as a Sail Training Ship, with completion in 2007. 'Pelican is certified for world-wide ocean charter, and has sailed to Spain, the Caribbean and back. Additional: 5m inflatable diveboat/tender w/ 35 HP Mariner OB, and skids/space for an additional 4m workboat, if required. 'Pelican' is stability tested to 120 degrees plus, and is rated as a 'single compartment ship,' meaning she will survive with one compartment completely flooded, and with eight watertight subdivisions, this requirement is exceeded. thestandard bilge suction line deals with six of thes subdivisions, and there is not only a duplicate system in place, but the diesel-driven emergency pump can reach all compartments as well. Altogether, 'Pelican' is a well thought-out, and wellfound tall ship, ready for any charter fleet anywhere in the world. Highly recommended!
