Here you find a series of watercolours of famous pilot boats of a bygone era.
Hope you enjoy the pictures which all originate from a 1995 calendar .
The artist is Johannes E Moeller (Danish) and the paintings are
copyright to Hempel A/S, Copenhagen.
First photo is the Danish pilot boat Helsingor in 1894 , she was built in 1866 in Elsinore and oak was mainly used, 10 metres in length and 3.6 m in breadth.
She could take up to 4 pilots.
Later she was fitted with an engine and performed services until 1941.
Today she is still around as a Dutch yacht .
The tall ship is the Swedish "Sigyn" which is now a museum ship as the only wooden bark left in the world today, in Abo, Finland.
