The Ethel von Brixham is a schooner that was launched in Brixham , England in 1890 and today sails as a traditional ship under the German flag .
history
The Brixham Ethel was launched in Brixham (England) in 1890 as a Brixham trawler and was initially used as a trawler in England. She was then used for over 80 years as a fishery - and later as a sailless cargo ship in various Scandinavian countries and under different names.
1981 successes after a transfer from Norway to Kiel , a significant transition from the motor vessel (two-cylinder Heimdal - diesel ) for staysail schooner by Eckhard Clemens and Annette Pipahl. Only the hull, with its double frames and additional interior planking, is reminiscent of a fast Brixham trawler. In July 1986 the ship was registered under the name Ethel von Brixham in Kiel. Group trips were offered across the Baltic Sea from Kiel to southern Sweden and Tallinn (or Helsinki ), as well as trips to the Mediterranean and back. During these trips, the guests were actively included in the sailing and boarding routine.
In 1996 Gerhard Bialek took over the ship as owner . In 1997, Ethel was seen in the film adaptation of the novel " Die Rättin " by Günter Grass . In 2001 the Ethel von Brixham was recognized according to the traditional ship regulations of the Federal Ministry of Transport . In 2011 the rig was changed to come closer to the original Brixham trawler. The rigged mainsail was held fast. The fisherman and staysail (both between the masts) were replaced by a gaff sail . The jib was reduced in size and made as a tree jib.
In regular traffic, the ship is provided with cabins for up to 12 fellow sailors , and for day trips for up to 35 passengers. The crew allows interested fellow sailors to actively participate in sailing on request.
