Greetings from Aglaia

Tall ship Aglaia

Readers may remember the summer of 2005, when The Friendliest Port gave safe haven to tall ship Aglaia, when all her crew came down with sea sickness during the Tall Ships Race.

The Ambler recently received an email from Sven Esser, skipper of the 14.9m long ketch.

He told us that Aglaia and her volunteer crew will be taking part in this year’s Tall Ships Races.

The first race, in July, will be from Liverpool to Norway, but Aglaia will sadly not be able to visit the UK.

Skipper Sven Esser

Sven, pictured left, told us: “We will take tall-ships-race again, but only from Norway.”


He also told The Ambler that they were now no longer registered as German, but were sailing under the Austrian flag.
