Nooderlicht
A 46 meter long two-mast schooner, the Nooderlicht (Northern lights) is a sailing vessel from 1910. Originally built as a light ship in the Baltics, the Nooderlicht has gone through several adjustments and enhancements that make her specially equipped to sail in the arctic. However, she changed missions and hands many times and was left rusted and completely stripped. In 1992, Ted van Broeckhuysen and Gert Ritzema became smitten with the ship and lovingly restored her to better than new, ensuring that some original elements were used to retain a bit of her long history
