S/V Noorderlicht in Svalbard

The ‘Noorderlicht' was originally built in 1910 in Flensburg, Germany as a three-masted schooner. For most of her existence she served as a light-vessel on the Baltic. In 1991 the present owners purchased the hull and re-rigged and refitted her thoroughly, under the rules of "Register Holland".

The vessel is not an ice breaker but has a strengthened bow.
