Notes:

Feadship launched this classic paviljoentjalk, or spritsail barge, in 1957. The yard then shipped the vessel from Holland to her owners in the United States. After an illustrious career on both sides of the Atlantic, she fell on hard times in the 80s, becoming a lobster transport between the Bahamas and US. Then, in the 90s, De Vrouwe Christina rotted away as a houseboat in St. Martin. In 2002, the current owners bought her and began a three-year refit, bringing the vessel back to her former glory.
