Duchesse Anne, Full-rigged ship at Port Museum, Dunkirk, France.

The steel-built Duchesse Anne extends 92 meters in length with a mainmast reaching 48 meters high and carries 25 sails across its rigging.

Built in 1901 as Grossherzogin Elisabeth in Germany, the vessel trained merchant marine sailors until 1932 before becoming French property after World War II.

The three-masted ship represents French maritime education, as it prepared numerous naval officers and sailors throughout three decades of service.

Visitors can explore the vessel during 30-minute tours from March to November, with daily access from 2 PM to 6 PM during school vacations.

The final remaining full-rigged ship under French flag currently undergoes restoration until summer 2025 to participate in the Tall Ship Race.
