De Gallant was launched in 1916 under the name Jannetje Margaretha in Vlaardingen. She served as a herring lugger in the North Sea until 1936. In 1982 she was used as a cargo vessel by her Danish owner. Then in 1987 she returned to the Netherlands and was fully restored by a teaching and work experience project for youth in Amsterdam.
She now sails in the North Sea, the Baltic and the English Channel as a sail training ship. She is a regular participant of the Tall Ships Races.

The Christian Radich is a 241 foot, 676 ton, full-rigged ship built in 1937 in Sandefjord, Norway. In 1938 she sailed to New York for the World Fair.
In design she has the moderate sail plan of the modern training ship, with a total area of about 11,700 sq. ft., while her hull profile follows that of the traditional sailing ship, although on much finer lines since she carries no cargo other than her own stores and equipment. Her normal complement consists of a captain, three mates, six schoolmasters or instructors, a doctor, engineer, steward, cook and 100 cadets.
