	Sailing Ship Albatros a North Sea Klipper
		The Albatros is a sailing ship built in 1899 also known as a North Sea Klipper, she is one of the oldest sailing ships still afloat and few among her peers can stay at sea in more adverse conditions.
		A superb example of a time-tested design, she was expertly built of first class materials and has been well maintained and continuously improved.
		Given continued care there is no reason she should not still be keeping the sea in all weathers at the end of her second century.
