The world's largest steel sailing ship has set sail


The Golden Horizon is a five-masted sailing ship for the 21st century.Designed by Polish naval architect Zygmunt Chore, the Golden Horizon is based on a famous cargo ship the France II that was built in 1911.

 

Golden Horizon is made of 90 percent steel. At the heart of this unique vessel is its high-strength steel hull that means it can safely navigate from ice-laden polar seas to tropical coastlines and stormy oceans across the world.
