The Ships

Avontuur route

Avontuur (AUUR)

Built in 1920 by Otto Smit in Stadskanaal, Netherlands, The Avontuur sailed cargo between the North Sea, Baltic, North Atlantic and across to Caribbean ports, where she was widely regarded as one of the last true cargo sailing ships of the twentieth century. 

After years serving as a day passenger ship along the Dutch coast and West Friesian islands, the Avontuur became the foundation of the Timbercoast community in autumn 2014.

The ship sails regularly between Germany, France,
the Canary Islands, the Caribbean, South, Central and North America and the Azores.

De Gallant sunken coordinates

De Gallant (GALANT)

21st of May 2024 was a tragic day for De Gallant. During the night, strong thunderstorms moved over the Bahamas unexpectedly, causing the historic ship to begin taking on water and ultimately led it to sink. Out of the 8 crew members 6 were rescued after great efforts from the US Coast Guard.

De Gallant was launched in 1916 under the name Jannete Margaretha in Vlaardingen. She served as a herring lugger in the North Sea until 1936. In 1982 she was used as a cargo vessel by her Danish owner. Then in 1987 she returned to the Netherlands and was fully restored by a teaching and work experience project for youth in Amsterdam.

De Gallant in currently resting at sea around 20 miles north of Great Inagua, the southernmost island in the Bahamas, more than 2000 meters under water.

Map of LUN-2 route

LUN ii (LUN-ii)

LUN II was built for fishing in 1914 near Ålesund in Norway, she completed her initial career in 1976 with a significant refit at a shipyard, with changes to the engine and lengthening and widening modifications to the hull in 1956. This was common practice at the time, as it was less expensive than building from scratch.

Acquired by her fourth owner in 1979, she was refurbished at the Ring Andersen shipyard in Denmark with a 14-year full refit to exact Norwegian and Germanischer Lloyd Standart. In 1996, she sailed to Ensenada in Mexico where she became a floating home for her owner, his wife and dogs.

The last owner bought her in 2015, with the intention of turning her into a sailing cargo ship. Significant carpentry and engine work was carried out in 2016/2017 for this purpose. Several expeditions have been successfully completed since, with over 100 tonnes of cargo shipped across the Atlantic and a polar expedition in 2018/19.

Tres Hombres

Tres Hombres (TH)

The life of the brigantine Tres Hombres began in 1943. At that time still without masts and in a wreck-like condition, she was discovered in 2007 by three friends in Delft, in the Netherlands. With an incredible amount of diligence and dedication from many volunteers, she was brought back to life, and given the name after the three friends.

Within just over 2 years they managed to completely restore the ship and convert it into a sailing ship that now crosses the Atlantic Ocean every year, sails the Northern European seas and covers these long transport distances exclusively with the power of the wind. 

To keep the ship in perfect condition, the Tres Hombres undergoes an annual renovation with many volunteers helping and learning the boat building trade. 

When our spirits signs on, the journey begins in Boca Chica and ends in IJmuiden in the Netherlands.
