| Description |
English: Figurehead of the Pelican of London, Tall Ships' Races 2012 in Dublin
Built in 1948 in Le Harve, France, Pelican was originally a double-beam Arctic fishing trawler, one of five identical ships built in Chantiers et Ateliers, the shipyard once owned by the shipbuilder Augustin Normand. She was sold to a Norwegian firm and spent the next 19 years fishing the Arctic. In 1968 Pelican was reclassified from a trawler to a coaster. Her owners renamed her Kadett. She remained Kadett for 27 years until in 1995 she again changed hands. She was bought by ex-Naval Commander Graham Neilson who transformed her into a tall ship. He had already undertaken a similar project with the TS Astrid. Working in Portland Harbour, Dorset, UK, Neilson and his team spent 12 years stripping back the trawler and rebuilding her as a main mast barquentine. As of 2012, Pelican is operated as a sail training vessel for young people, by the charity Adventure Under Sail. Sail Training International ranks it is a Class A Tall Ship. It is for sale for about 2.5 million pounds in 2012. |
