Wylde Swan started life in 1920 as a steam ship supporting the German herring fleet. In 2010 she was relaunched as a two masted topsail schooner operated as a sail training vessel. She is registered in the Netherlands and the only time I have photographed her was from the deck of the Red Funnel Ferry, Red Falcoln in May 2011 as she was crossing the Solent in-bound for Southampton.
