M/S Atene

The M/S Atene measures 24.15 meters in length and features a clipper bow, traditional rigging configuration, and a low superstructure design characteristic of Nordic vessels.

Built in 1909 at J. Ring-Andersen Træskibsværft in Svendborg, Denmark, this schooner initially carried cargo between Danish ports under the name Emanuel of Strynö.

The M/S Atene Association maintains maritime traditions by teaching sailing skills to students and organizing educational programs about traditional vessel navigation techniques.

The vessel operates from April through October in Nordic waters, offering sailing programs that include day trips in Bohuslän and extended voyages to various ports.

Each participant aboard M/S Atene becomes part of the crew, learning hands-on tasks such as sail setting, steering, navigation, and galley assistance.
