Albatros





 

This unique vessel is the Albatros, a historic three-masted topsail schooner flying under the UK flag.  Originally built in 1942 as a cargo-sailing galeas with an auxiliary engine, the ship has transitioned through several roles over its long lifespan—ranging from a commercial freighter to a specialized "stone fisherman" used for lifting boulders from the seabed. In more recent decades, it was completely refitted and rigged into a traditional three-masted schooner, serving as a dedicated sail-training vessel.

HMS Northumberland










 HMS Northumberland was a Type 23 Frigate named after the Duke of Northumberland. Originally designed for anti-submarine warfare, she has proven versatile enough for all manner of operations. Due to decommission, HMS Northumberland’s role will be taken over by the new Type 26/City-class frigates, led by HMS Glasgow.

HMS Northumberland was towed out of Portsmouth on the 9 September for the scrapyard.
