Biographical Data:
Artemis is the goddess of the hunt in Greek mythology.
The Frisian Sailing Company’s new flagship was given that name when she was launched in 1926. Equipped as a whaling vessel, she hunted whales until the end of the 1940′s. She chiefly navigated the Artic Ocean and the Antarctic Ocean. In the 1950′s, she was converted into a freighter and sailed mainly between Asia and South America. During these voyages, however, her home port remained Marstal, Denmark.
