The story of the Wylde Swan

The Wylde Swan began her life in 1920 as the steamship Jemo, built for the herring fleet. Designed to bring fresh fish to port quickly, her streamlined hull later caught the eye of Captain Willem Sligting, who dreamed of a training ship that could also win sailing races. In 2010 the Wylde Swan was launched and began her new life as a topsail schooner. Today the ship is home to the Masterskip program, a school at sea where high school students combine learning and travel. With now 15 years on the water, the Wylde Swan continues to inspire young people and provide a bridge to a promising future.
