Experience the sailing adventure on board the traditional ship Ewer Gloria!

The Elbe and its tributaries are not only traffic routes, but also an experience for water sports fans. A particularly charming representative among the traditional ships is the Ewer Gloria, which has been active since 2004 and keeps sailing culture alive. Ewer Gloria is a former freight ewer and preserves the tradition of sailing shipping with a clear goal: to maintain the Maritime heritage and to make sailing accessible to everyone interested. Participation in the trips is independent of the experience, which makes the project particularly attractive. The association "Friends of Ewers Gloria e.V." is committed to maintaining the ship and regularly organizes trips that are ideal for adventurous guests with a soft spot for sailing. [shz.de] (https://www.shz.de/lokales/wir-von-hier/Pinneberg/artikel/elmshorn-segeln-und-crewleben-auf-dem-daditions ships reports that all interested parties can take part as guests or hobby seamen and women.

The trips of the Ewer Gloria regularly lead to small ports on the Elbe, whereby Glückstadt is often controlled, as the Glueckstadt tourism describes. Here up to 21 people can actively participate in the action. Whether you put your own hand, relaxed or chat with the crew - everyone finds their place. After arriving in the harbor, joint activities of the crew are also ensured, which strengthens the community and the coexistence.

a ship for young and old

The Ewer Gloria has a lot to offer: with a sailing area of ​​around 100 square meters, adjusted to the circumstances of tide and wind, the ship invites both experienced seafarers and beginners to discover the art of sailing together. There is no previous knowledge that crew shows "Learning by doing", so that there is a lot of space for discovering. The conversion of the former cargo room into a cozy cabin with a kitchenette ensures that the crew feels comfortable while traveling. A total of eight berths and a sanitary area are available, so that longer stays are possible. In addition, crew members can spend the night on board and drive back to Elmshorn the next day, which makes it easier to organize the trips.

The ship management is responsible for an experienced skipper who has at least one sports boat certificate. In the current season, the crew consists of around 20 members, with three to five people usually control the ship. The journeys are planned according to a specified timetable in which the crew members register with their availability. Regular training tours on the Baltic Sea as well as participation in events such as the Hamburg harbor birthday and the Elmshorner harbor festival are also on the program. No reason for the Ewer Gloria to present themselves in the maritime community.
