Plymouth Pirate Weekend - May 13-14 2017 - Kaskelot will offer specially designed hands-on sail training sessions for all the family so you can learn how to set the sails - all from the comfort and safety of the harbour berth. Mark Brimacombe, marina manager, said: "Kaskelot is one of the finest wooden tall ships of her age still in commission, and has an incredible history."The ship was enormously popular when she last visited Sutton Harbour in 2015 with people pouring down to Plymouth's waterfront to tour such a wonderfully well-restored ship, and we have no doubt the fascination will again prove a major draw this pirate weekend"

Kaskelot was originally built in Denmark in 1948 and worked as a support vessel for Danish fisheries in the Faroe Islands.

More recently the beautiful barque has become famous having appeared in many hit Hollywood films and TV dramas such as Cutthroat Island, Longitude and David Copperfield.
One of the largest wooden tall ships still in commission is now in Plymouth's Sutton Harbour for a three-weeks.

Kaskelot is a majestic three-masted barque and was a huge hit when she last sailed into Britain's coastal City two years ago to berth in Sutton Harbour, the historic waterfront quarter in the heart of Plymouth.
This year, the world-class sailing ship is berthed alongside Quay Road from April 21 until May 15. It isl opened for visitors to step aboard to explore the famous wooden decks and extensive cargo hold.
