Tall ships in Øresund in 2012

The 2012 summer sailing season was a good one in the Øresund region. Quite a few beautiful tall ships sailed in the Sound either northwards or southwards. I must have missed many, but below are some of the ones I caught with my camera.

The Swedish Navy's training ship HMS Falken visited Helsingborg on 19 April.  Unfortunately, I do not have a picture of the Falken sailing. 

This three masted ship sailed northwards in foggy weather on 9 May. I was not able to identify the ship. Maybe someone more knowledgeable can help me out?

The Polish  Kapitan Glowacki passing by on 13 May.

On Sunday evening 20 May Polish training ship Dar Młodzieży sailed northwards in the Sound.

On May 25 the Dar Młodzieży was returning to its home port in Poland.

The gorgeous Swedish owned cruise sailing ship Star Flyer visited Helsingborg  on  June 1.

Helsingborg based schooner Nina in the Sound on July 5.

 German  3-mast-topsail schooner Albatros on July 18 on its way northwards in the Sound.

Former Finnish "fair trade vessel" Estelle visited Helsingborg on July 22. Later this year  the ship, now owned by Swedish "Ship to Gaza" was to get a lot of less positive attention in Israeli waters.

MSY Wind Surf, the largest sailing ship in the world, was heading for Copenhagen on July 29.

The beautifully restored Norwegian three-masted barque rigged sail training vessel Statsraad Lehmkuhl  on its way northwards in Øresund on August 4. The picture above this one shows the brig Tre Konor, which visited Helsingborg on July 31. (For some reason I could not get the information added to the pic!)

The Dutch three-mast gaff schooner Albert Johannes  on August 6.

A three masted schooner sailing northwards in the Sound on August 13. Please, let me know if you recognize the ship.

The German brig Roald Amundsen sailing northwards on August 21.

The MSY Wind Surf returned on August 24.

The Polish three masted frigate Dar Młodzieży returning to its home port Gdynia on August 26.

On September 9 the full rigged sail training ship Danmark was sailing towards Copenhagen  in the Sound.

In rather windy weather this three masted schooner (?) was sailing northwards on September 5.  Again,  please let me know if you recognize the ship.
