Description

Adventure" was built in Holland as a fishing boat. She was seized by the German in the 40's and then went back to fishing after the war. "Adventure" became the shelter for Radio Caroline( Pirate radio in the 60's ) operating in North Sea.
In the 70's it was back to fishing again, sold in France in 1987, restored, and was showed in the old gaffers festivals. She came across the Atlantic to the Caribbean in 1998 doing charters. Unfortunately she sank in St. Martin during Hurricane Lenny, November 1999. She was raised a short time after, kept by the salvage company and sold in 2003 to the present owner who has been restoring her once again. MANY NEW ITEMS SINCE PREVIOUS LISTING!
