Fregatten Jylland

Let your senses hit the frigate. Phase out on the
adventure of the year. Come aboard the world’s
longest wooden ship and see how the rough everyday life was for 430 sailors, when the waves were high and cannons were fired. But first we will make real sailors of the children. Learn how to make rope, shoot the cannons, set sails, tie knots and swing in the bunks. Afterwards they receive their own seaman’s record book and a cool tattoo as a proof of them being seaworthy. We sail to Kalle Krudts Treasure Island every day. An old map and secret signs lead to the hidden treasure.
