In
the eighties the second life of "Elbe 2" began. A German ship builder
had the ship converted to an elegant passenger sailing ship of luxurious
proportions. The old lady "Lightship Elbe 2" became the stylish
three-masted bark "ATLANTIS". Where in the old days the impressive
light tower had it's place, an ambience was created from selected
wood and imposing maritime elegance.

After
being chartered world-wide and a change of owner "ATLANTIS" is again
available for cruises since the spring 1997. The bark has been generally
restored and renovated with much love and attention to detail. In
spring / autumn she sails in the western Mediterranean, in summer
in the Baltic sea and in winter in the Grenadines - Caribbean. |
