    I assumed this would be the case, but also did some quick research before I responded. There’s a cargo sailing ship from over 100 years ago still in active service. It’s called the Avontuur. And apparently, interest in commissioning new sailing cargo ships is on the rise.

      That’s cool, thank you for pointing out that ship. I only knew of the Tres Hombres which runs under Fairtransport. I’ve seen some videos on Youtube and got the impression they are financially struggling.

      I love those sailing ships of the old times. I find them fascinating. If you love them like me, this is a real gem of video material commented by a sailing captain.
