Training ship KONINGIN JULIANA operated by Vissiaij School, Urk seen in the West India Dock during September 1998.

Does anyone know her history? ex trawler!

Good picture but sorry cant help with history I think your surmise may well be right, looks like a conversion from something like that anyway.

It is a training vessel originated in The Netherlands, but do not know the history. Named after the ex queen.

Hello Bob again

I think that the Koningin Juliana now sails whit jong boys who have involt whit the judge.
If you go to www.den-engh.nl/pages/koninginjuliana.html
thats where the ship now sails on.

But I think you better can ask the museum in Vlaardingen
because thats the national Fishing museum.

The vessel was originally built as a fishery school training ship. (Stern trawler for pelagic fishing and trawling) until the mid eighties it was used as a pure fishery schoolship. when the schoolship Prinses Margriet was decomisioned the koningin juliana was also used as a trainingship for the dutch seafaring schools.
I sailed on her twice. once in 99 en once in 2000 think I stil have some pictures will try and find them in my archive.
After years and years of sailing as a training (cadet) ship the foundation whom operated the vessel didn't had the funds to maintain the vessel anymore. so it was sold. As far as I now it has been sold to youthwork
a semi goverment institution who works with youngsters who are hard to handle. By putting a group of young problemmakers on board guided by a crew of social workers the youngsters are trained in controling and improving themselves
by the way look at this link for the site of youthwork. Sory its in dutch only: http://www.den-engh.nl/pages/maritie...injuliana.html
