1937 · three-masted topsail schooner — one of the first ships confirmed for the Armada de Rouen 2027.
A large and graceful Dutch three-masted topsail schooner built in 1937, the Gulden Leeuw is a regular on the international sail-training circuit and a generous, photogenic presence at the Armada.
Her sweeping deck lines and the elegant topsail rig.
Like the rest of the fleet, Gulden Leeuw will be moored along the Rouen quays from 17–27 June 2027, and boarding is free. Go early in the day to climb aboard before the queues build — the most famous ships draw crowds by mid-morning. See the full fleet and the programme.
We'll email the complete 2027 ship list and boarding schedule the moment the organisers publish them.
