THE world’s largest ocean-going wooden sailing ship has arrived in the Island ahead of the Barclays Jersey Boat Show.
The show – the largest free-entry public event in the Channel Islands – regularly attracts more than 30,000 people. It is being held across all three days of the bank holiday weekend at the St Helier Marina and Weighbridge.
One of the highlights of this year’s event is the Götheborg of Sweden sailing ship, which is visiting Jersey for the first time.
Commenting on life aboard the vessel, deckhand Kimberly Andreasson (31) said: ‘The ship becomes your world; you live in a bubble. It’s only the ship, it’s only the job and the people.
‘You don’t have any signal on your phone, so you don’t know what’s going on in the world.’
