| Jorgen Faxholm: Jensine and Bessie Ellen around Fyn Island 2007 Oil on board, 50x70cm |
Jensine is Denmark's oldest wooden ship still sailing, a 1-master yacht (Jagt), built in Aalborg by J.W.Riis, 1852. She has since been faithfully restaured by a consortium in Haderslev, Denmark.
Bessie Ellen was designed and built by W.S. Kelly in 1904 in Plymouth to carry cod fish for the Newfoundland trade. In 1907 she was purchased by Captain J.S. Chichester to begin working as a general cargo ship in home waters. She is the last remaining West Country 2-master Trading Ketch (Galease).
