Pembroke
was built in Pukavik, Sweden as one of the last three masted sailing
schooners, in 1945.
She
traded timber in the Baltic and British East Coast until being laid
up in Thisted, Denmark in 1974.
Square
Sail purchased her in 1979 and she underwent a complete restoration
which commenced in 1985.
In
1994, she was commissioned as the three masted 18th century wooden
barque that she is today.
