The DANMARK is a steel-hulled, three-masted and full-rigged ship. It was built as a training ship in 1933 at Nakskov Shipyard in Denmark. Since then it has provided basic training of young people seeking careers at sea. The ship is the property of the Kingdom of Denmark and has its home base there. It is capable of sailing all over the world, however in the recent years it has only been sailing in European waters. In 2002 the ship sailed to the USA and visited Boston, Norfolk, New York, Baltimore, Stamford, New London and Washington. The ship has a permanent crew of 16 persons and includes: Captain, Chief Officer, Chief Engineer, Training Officer, Doctor (MD), Cooks and Quartermasters.
