⚓ Short info about the yacht • Year of construction: 1901 in Germany (originally as the training ship „Großherzogin Elisabeth“) • Use: Training ship for the merchant navy • After the Second World War handed over to France • Today: Museum ship & landmark of Dunkerque Old soul, calm harbor In the middle of the port of Dunkerque lies the Duchesse Anne – a piece of history from another time. Over 100 years old, once sailing the world's oceans, today firmly moored – and yet you can feel the spirit of wind, salt, and freedom in every mast. A moment to pause… before the real headwind awaits outside again 🌬️
