Sailing Ship “Stad Amsterdam” Visits London
On 19th September 2022, the Dutch sailing ship “Stad Amsterdam” was moored at George Stairs, off Shad Thames which is adjacent to Tower Bridge in London.
“Stad Amsterdam” – “City of Amsterdam” – is a three masted clipper sailing ship 76 metres in length which was built in 2000 to take up to 28 cruise passengers at a time, in 14 cabins, across the world. Whilst not a replica, the ship is based on the mid-19th century frigate “Amsterdam”.
