The clipper Elizabeth is a living monument to the history of inshore sailing. in 1913 she was built by Geleijns brothers in Moerdijk, as one of four identical large clippers. She is still known for her impressive appearance.
The acquisition of inshore sailing clipper Elizabeth, laid foundation for the Tallship Company. During her conversion in 1991 to a modern sailing ship, the Tallship Company preserved the typical features and originality of a Dutch flat bottom sailing ship. In doing so, the goal of the shipping company was set: to convert traditional ships to luxurious sailing charter ships, while maintaining as much as possible their traditional appearance and atmosphere.

way to experience the natural environment.
