Georg Stage

Glorious warm sunshine first thing and late afternoon but notice the fog massing in the distance well it came down around 5 and forced the cancellation of the evening flights from Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Inverness/Kirkwall.
The ship here is the George Stage from Denmark which has been in a few times over the years.

Georg Stage is a name used by the independent foundation Georg Stages Minde that was established in 1882 by the shipowner Frederik Stage and his wife Thea. They recognized the need for better skills assessment and training of Denmark's sailors so the ship serves as a training-platform for sailors in Denmark. The ship memorialized their son, who died from tuberculosis in 1880, age 22.
