Description

Pilgrim is the oldest surviving sailing trawler that was built and rigged in the port of Brixham. She was one of several hundred Victorian sailing trawlers that worked out of Brixham in the late 19th century.
Built by JW & A Upham in Brixham in 1895 and fished out of Brixham until 1912. She was then sold to Swedish owners and until 1999 was in Nordic waters as a fishing, cargo, private yacht and sail training vessel. She returned to the UK and was fully restored between 2009-2012. Now charity owned and operated undertaking seasonal sailings April-October each year. Sailing area is South West England and North West France.
