"Danmark"
(Denmark)
"Danmark" was built by Nakskov
Shipyard for the Danish government as a training ship for future sailors.
She is the biggest of the Danish training ships.
She is managed by the Maritime
Training and Education Center in Frederikshavn, - and while the smaller
"Georg Stage" stays near Danish waters, the bigger "Danmark" regularly
crosses the Atlantic to USA, South America and The Caribbean Islands.
During WW2 she did not return
back home to occupied Denmark, but sailed to USA and served during the
5 years by educating thousands of officers for the US Navy, which makes
her quite a popular ship whenever she visit US ports.
