The sixty-metre Norwegian tall ship Sørlandet has arrived in Dublin Bay on Friday, 19 September. Built in 1927, it is described by its operator as “the world’s oldest and most authentic fully-rigged ship still in active service”, according to the Sail Training International organisation. The vessel runs sail training voyages in which participants work alongside the crew. “You, your new shipmates and our crew will set sail together,” the operator said. “Everyone will receive training and guidance from our professional crew members regardless of previous experience,” the operator added.
