the "PHOENIX" was built in Denmark in 1929, she was built as an evangelical mission schooner, the ship was acquired in 1988, she was converted to a brig in 1996, she is normally based at Charlestown Historic Harbour in Cornwall, she has been used in a few TV series like Frenchman´s Creek, Moll Flanders and Hornblower, she was opened to the public during the Riverside Festival in Liverpool and I have been on board, she looks amazing, very well looked after, the last time I saw her was in Falmouth during the tall ships races in 1998, photos included, 11th September 2011
