‘The most beautiful ship in the world’ docks in Brooklyn
Sailing around the globe to highlight climate change
A 278-foot sailing vessel called by many “the most beautiful ship in the world” sailed majestically into ONE°15 Brooklyn Marina at Brooklyn Bridge Park on Sunday morning.
The Statsraad Lehmkuhl, Norway’s 107-year-old three-masted tall ship, will be docked at the marina until Jan. 4.
Brooklyn resident Marcie Roth was on Pier 5 on Sunday to welcome the graceful sailing vessel. “I think it’s amazing that this is how people used to sail around the world, and today we are on these monstrous cruise ships,” Roth said. “It’s just beautiful.”
