Historic Tall Ship Sails into Hong Kong

The world’s oldest full rigged tall ship, the Norwegian Sørlandet, has sailed into Hong Kong harbor this morning. 

 

The ship, which was built in 1927, is on a two year circumnavigation, crewed by students from A+ World Academy, an onboard boarding school comprising of international students from six different countries.

 

Wallem Ship Agencies has been appointed port agent for the vessel, and therefore has assisted with all pre-arrival arrangements and in-port services for the vessel’s stay in Hong Kong.

 

The tall ship will remain docked at Pier 8 next to the Maritime Museum where a graduation ceremony will be held for the students of A+ World Academy.
