An English channel adventure is waiting! Apply now to sail as a deckhand on Götheborg on the sailing leg between London and Bremerhaven – the Crown Jewel Passage.
What was it like to sail and live on an East Indiaman in the 1700s? And who’d have thought another chance to sail an 18th century ship would ever present itself? Well, here it is! Today, we sail with the comforts of modern life, but the experience of sailing is still as adventurous as when the original Götheborg set sail for Asia.
Signing up for the Crown Jewel Passage will give you an authentic experience of sailing as a deckhand 300 years ago. This passage will not only give you the opportunity to climb high up in the rig, work with setting and taking in sails, and learn about sailing an 18th century ship. It will also give you the unique experience of sailing and steering the ship in waters that are among the world’s busiest. All in all, sailing along the Thames, crossing the English Channel and passing the East Frisian Islands before mooring at the Port of Bremerhaven means a leg packed with action.
Upon arrival, the Bremerhaven Maritime Days, with 80 ships and 350,000 visitors, are just about to start. There will be lots of spectacular ships present, though the one you’re sailing is definitely one of the crown jewels of the festival.
Welcome to explore the roots of tea and the organic evolution of tea drinking over thousands of years.
