TS Silver Quest

TS Silver Quest Training Ship (TS) Silver Quest is the World's First Community Tall Ship - built by the community, for the community!

Be part of maritime history and help build Cornwall's Community Tall Ship - Training Ship Silver Quest (TSSQ). After our volunteer proudly crewed her in the August 2014 Tall Ships Parade of Sail in Falmouth, we are now on to the next stage of construction, and looking for more keen hands on deck. When we have completed her TSSQ will tour the coast teaching maritime heritage, leading pirating skirm

ishes, and having public access aboard in all manner of ports and harbours, so that she can be used by the community for their own events, performances or parties. She will be the first ever Community Tall Ship. The transformation will turn the sea-going Scottish trawler hull into a 500 year old Carrack. The Carrack was the HGV of the seas and became the most influential ship design in maritime history, as well as being the first ever tall ship. And where better to build a Carrack, then in the Cornish district of Carrick. When the ship is built and is not touring, she will be based in Penryn, Flushing and Falmouth, and offer access to the public, with focus on the community and any groups who feel that they would like to gather upon a 500 year old piece of our maritime history.

Hi shipmates!

Back to the hard work in preparation for Phase 3 of the transformation!

Phase 1 : Remove all steel plates and gear - 99% Complete
Phase 2 : Renovate completely the hull and deck - 70% Complete
Phase 3 : Move to Falmouth & Build the three decks - About to start
Phase 4 : Step and rig the masts - 2016

So we are looking for volunteers to come and try out our newly refurbished bunks and bedding and help us in our last effort to complete the renovation phase.

We promise nothing but hard work - Except of course: oodles of fun, personal achievement, food and lodgings, claiming your part in maritime history, and learning new skills.

No experience required - a good sense for adventure and fun essential. (Oh, and bring whatever you like to drink!)

Den internasjonale mannskap på TS Silver Quest vil snart bli æret ved tilsetning av en tids servert Viking. Stian Christofferson kommer til å gi opp de frosne vintre i Norge for vår skrullete Kernow himmelstrøk for å hjelpe oss å bygge den neste fasen av TS Silver Quest. Vi ønsker å takke ham sterkt for hans engasjement, tro og eventyrlystne hjerte og å ønske den første TS Silver Quest Kokk!

Stian har beilet oss i løpet av de siste årene med sine jevnlige besøk, hauger av interessante deler av dyr, og hans ekspert kulinariske ferdigheter, etter at jeg møtte ham å forsvare sin Oslo storbåt "Gaia" fra min pirater i Bretagne et par år tilbake.

(Vi endelig tok besittelse av nevnte fartøy på andre forsøk, men temperamentet til denne mannen hadde allerede blitt bevist.)

Så vennligst forberede dere for en godt befestet skipets mannskap i 2015, servert av det beste Norge har å by på, og klare dere selv for invasjonen av Kernow med: -

"DEN STORE VINTERSOLVERV VIKING INVASJON".

The international crew of TS Silver Quest will soon be honoured by the addition of a time-served Viking. The great Stian Christofferson is going to give up the frozen winters of Norway for our balmy Cornish climes to help us build the next stage of TS Silver Quest.

We would like to thank him greatly for his commitment, faith, and adventurous heart and to welcome the first official TS Silver Quest Cook!

Stian has wooed us over the past few years with his regular visits, piles of interesting animal parts, and his expert culinary skills, after I met him defending his Oslo longboat "Gaia" from my marauding pirates in Brittany a couple years back.

(We finally took possession of said vessel on the second attempt, but the mettle of this man had already been proven.)

So please prepare yourselves for a well-fortified ship's crew in 2015, served by the best Norway has to offer, and ready yourselves for the invasion of Cornwall with:-

"The Great Winter Solstice Viking Invasion".
