Ursula photographed in Cowes on 31 October 2015. She was built in 1953 at Sakuth, Heiligenhafen, Germany, a small fishing port on the Baltic Coast. It is believed Ursula was built as a cadet training ship but may have also played a part in the Cold War with sophisticated sonar and listening equipment originally installed on board.

Built to a traditional design with oak planking on oak frames, Ursula withstood the harsh Baltic conditions for many years, with lead ingots packed into the bow area for ice breaking.

After a major refit in the mid 1990's, Ursula spent 10 years operating in the Scottish Hebrides, carrying passengers on whale watching trips. During this time she was named 'Solais Na Mara' .

Overall she is 23.3m long with a 5.68m beam and 2.40m draft.

Sail area is 153m3.
 
Max speed 10 knots.

Gross Tonnage: 99.5 and DWT = 54.

Accommodation on board caters for 11 crew in 3 cabins, including 2 doubles.

Main Engine is a 250hp Perkins Sabre M215C​.

    My interest in ships and the sea started back in 2006 when I worked for a couple of years  on the banks of the River Mersey. I have since been on a couple of cruises around the Med and in the Far East and have started to take more interest in researching and photographing some of the ships and other vessels seen on my travels.
