History
It is the year 1870. At the Italian shipyard Cantiere Argentario a schooner is completed. Originally the ship was designed for transporting marble, but history had something else in store for her.
When the steamboat was introduced she could not longer keep up with her competitors. She was taken out of service after years of loyal duty and fell into the hands of people who believed in "free enterprises". In contradiction to her holy name she now spent her days on dubious voyages across the Mediterranean Sea.
With her innocent look, perfect line and enough space for goods (such as ivory, art and wine) business flourished. As with all good things this period of "free enterprise" voyages came to an end. The authorities decided to put a stop to these "enterprises". The ship was confiscated and bounded.She was doomed to be lost in history. But in 1965 this beauty was recognized by a wealthy Italian family. Put back to life as a modern, comfortable sailing-yacht, she became again the queen of the Mediterranean Sea. Although luxurious she remained the authentic ship she had always been.
In 1995 she was modified to become a modern and comfortable ocean sailing ship, again her authenticity was beautifully maintained throughout these changes. Three years later a Dutch family became the new owners and now She has left the Mediterranean Sea and, after sailing across the Atlantic Ocean and discovering the Caribbean area, she is stationed at Oranjestad Aruba.
