Some Information:

Josefine was built by Anderson and Ferdinandsen in Denmark and first registered in 1931. She is constructed of oak on oak and rigged as a gaff ketch.

Her first 40 years were spent ring seine fishing in the Baltic and North sea, she was often away for weeks at a time before returning to port with a live catch. In 1975 she was re-commissioned as a sail-training vessel, working out of the South Coast of England.

Between 2000 - 2002 she was completely rebuilt and refitted on the South Coast, then relocated to Gibraltar.

Charles Atkinson is the present custodian, owner and principal skipper of Josefine. Certified crew are drawn from a range of enthusiastic people from all over the UK.
