The Morgenster is a tall ship with a long history. She is a classic, square-rigged two-master. This clipper-brik, with steel hull, has been converted into a fast, manoeuvrable training ship after many owners and renovations.

History

Launched in 1919 as a herring lugger, the Morgenster was built at the Boot shipyard in Alphen. In 1927, the ship was motorised and lengthened seven metres, after which it was named Morgenster. Until 1970, the ship was used as a motorised fishing vessel. After this, the ship was sold and used for day trips. After a lengthy restoration, the Morgenster was blessed in 2008. Since then, she has been a fast and reliable tall ship.
