Belem Ship Model History
Launched in 1896, the Belem is a magnificent French three-masted barque, originally built as a cargo ship before becoming a celebrated training vessel. Today, it is one of the oldest operational sailing ships in Europe, preserved as a floating museum and a symbol of maritime heritage.
