"Stad Amsterdam" Tall Ship, Netherlands

On this postcard you see the "Stad Amsterdam", a three-masted clipper, built in 2000 after the design of mid-19th century frigate "Amsterdam" and named after the Dutch capital. There is one major difference to the Amsterdam, though, the hull is made from steel.
Stad Amsterdam is a training ship but can also be hired for private cruises. The card shows her during the tall ship parade "Sail Amsterdam" in 2015 celebrating the ship's 15th anniversary.
