The Haabet, a Baltic Trader from 1914, now 'The Williams II'
Built in Denmark and brought to Blyth where it's used for sail training around the British Isles.

It's hoped that one day it can emulate the voyages of the original ketch, 'The Williams', owned by William Smith from Blyth who discovered the South Shetland Islands in 1819, and in 1820 discovered the Antarctic Peninsula.
