History
Since 1930 the Jantje, previously called `Ennie en Appie`, brought in large cod fishing. After 1969 the vessel was rebuild into the schooner brig, also called brigantine, that it is today. Characteristic for this type of vessels are the square-rigged fore mast and the schooner rigged stern mast. High speeds and good sailing qualities make this a pirate`s favourite. Nowadays the Jantje is equipped with everyday comfort. Combine this with the authentic sturdy atmosphere aboard and you have the ideal Sail Training Ship.
