Witte Swaen is ready for its first sea trial...

The Witte Swaen, the reconstruction of Willem Barentsz's expedition ship, will make its first trial run under sail on Saturday, September 9.

It is an exciting experience for the builders of the ship to experience how the ship will behave under sail, because this is a so-called transverse rigged ship.
