She was built in the Netherlands in 1902 and is currently operated out of Airlie Beach, Australia. She is being chartered for 3-day sailing holidays in the Whitsunday Islands. The ship, originally named Stina, was built out of of German steel with timber decking as a sail powered cargo vessel. In 1905, she was sold and renamed Adolf, working in and around the Baltic and North seas. In 1915, she was seized as a prize of war by the British Royal Navy and used as a Q-Ship during World War I. After the war, she worked as a coal, produce and stone carrying vessel between Liverpool and Scotland. She was sold to a Scottish firm in 1924 in the Solway Firth, where she was renamed Solway Lass. When World War II broke out, the German Navy seized Solway Lass and used her as a supply ship. She hit a mine and was badly damaged during the war; but she was repaired by the Germans to serve as a sail-powered icebreaker. After WWII, the Solway Lass served in the South Pacific as a cargo vessel.
