Description
Phoenix: The Tall Ship Phoenix is a two masted Brig, period rig, all wood construction.
Phoenix was built in 1929 in Frederikshavn, Denmark. Initially, she worked as an evangelical Mission Schooner and after twenty years re-tired from missionary work and became a cargo vessel until her engine room was damaged by fire.
Originally purchased by Square Sail in 1987, she underwent a first aid over-haul to enable her to sail back to the UK where a full refit was undertaken.
In 1991 she was converted to become the 15th century Caravel 'Santa Maria' for Ridley Scott's film '1492 Conquest of Paradise' and stayed in that guise until 1996 when she was converted to the 18th Century Brig we see today.
On the 7th September, the famous tall ship, Phoenix left Charlestown for the last time.
After more than twenty years of calling Charlestown home, the two masted brig known to millions for her starring role in many films and television series has set sail for new horizons.
In recent years Phoenix has featured in Poldark, Taboo, Doctor Who and in the Hollywood movie 'In the Heart of the Sea'. Aidan Turner, Tom Hardy, Chris Hemsworth and Jason Mamoa have all trod the boards on the deck of this lovely sailing vessel.
Charlestown (Cornish: Porth Meur, meaning great cove) is a village and port on the south coast of Cornwall, United Kingdom, and in the civil parish of St Austell Bay. It is situated approximately 2 miles (3 km) south east of St Austell town centre.
