AMAGER   1760

The sloop AMAGER - a very beautyful and elegant patrol ship - was mainly operating in the Sound. It was also used as a survey-vessel in the shallow waters of Denmark. What makes this ship special is the extremely large main-stay-sails and the position of the main-topmast behind the mast.
