The Dutch Barquentine Thalassa arrived on Dublin Bay on Thursday (June 26th) and berthed in Dun Laoghaire Harbour.

This three-master is one of the fastest sea sailing vessels in the Dutch fleet

The 47-metre Thalassa was built and rigged in 1980 in a traditional manner as a barquentine.

The Tall Ship can be chartered for whisky sailing trips, Tall Ship Races, milestone journeys, and nautical events.

In summer, Thalassa sails across Europe with various groups. In winter, the ship crosses the Atlantic with the School at Sea talent development programme.
