What is a Danish Galleass?

A Danish Galleass is a characteristic traditional wooden sailing vessel originating from Scandinavian coastal trade. The ship is:

• Rigged as a ketch with two masts.
• Built with a robust wooden hull, often round or flat-bottomed, ideal for shallow waters and fjords.
• Historically used for coastal shipping in the Baltic and North Sea, transporting bulk goods such as timber and grain.

Historical Significance

Danish galleasses are part of our living maritime heritage. Many examples have been restored and now sail as charter ships or museum pieces. They are popular among classic ship enthusiasts who wish to preserve their atmosphere and history.
