PEMBROKE KASKELOT PHOENIX

Itinerary: From April to September there are voyages from Charlestown to Paimpol and Cowes, from Cornwall to France, and roundtrip from Charleston to the Isles of Scilly.

Facilities and Activities: The Earl of Pembroke and Kaskelot are three-masted barques. The Earl of Pembroke was originally a schooner that traded timber in the Baltic and along the British coast. Kaskelot once supplied Greenland settlements and then worked as a fisheries support vessel. The Phoenix is a brig that started life as a Danish Evangelical Mission Schooner, then carried cargo. In 1991 she was converted to a caravel to replicate the Santa Maria for the film 1492 Conquest of Paradise. Other film credits of the ships include Moll Flanders, Frenchman’s Creek, The Scarlet Pimpernel, The Last Place on Earth, Cutthroat Island, Swept from the Sea, Treasure Island, Return to Treasure Island, A Respectable Trade, The Three Musketeers, and Revolution. Passengers are considered voyage crew and usually actively participate in the sailing of the ship, although participation is voluntary. On the Cornwall-France voyages the ship usually calls at the Brittany port of Douarnenez to visit the Maritime Museum.

Recent Fares Reported to Us: 130 to 800 British pounds sterling and from 2,000 to 6,000 FF.
