Facilities and Activities:
The Earl of Pembroke and Kaskelot are three-masted barques. The Earl of Pembroke
was originally a schooner that traded timber in the Baltic and along the British
coast. Kaskelot once supplied Greenland settlements and then worked as a
fisheries support vessel. The Phoenix is a brig that started
life as a Danish Evangelical Mission Schooner, then carried cargo. In 1991 she
was converted to a caravel to replicate the Santa Maria for the film 1492
Conquest of Paradise. Other film credits of the ships include Moll Flanders,
Frenchman’s Creek, The Scarlet Pimpernel, The Last Place on Earth, Cutthroat
Island, Swept from the Sea, Treasure Island, Return to Treasure Island, A
Respectable Trade, The Three Musketeers, and Revolution. Passengers are considered
voyage crew and usually actively participate in the sailing of the ship, although
participation is voluntary. On the Cornwall-France voyages the ship usually
calls at the Brittany port of Douarnenez to visit the Maritime Museum.
