The Europa

The Europa is a steel-hulled barque registered in the Netherlands. Originally it was a German lightship, named Senator Brockes and built in 1911 at the H.C. Stülcken & Sohn shipyard in Hamburg, Germany. Until 1977, it was in use by the German Federal Coast Guard as a lightship on the river Elbe. A Dutchman bought the vessel (or what was left of her) in 1985 and in 1994 she was fully restored as a barque, a three-mast rigged vessel, and retrofitted for special-purpose sail-training.

Who could have known?...

James Comey to testify before Congress this morning at 10am ET.

       CSPAN, CNN, ABC, CBS and NBC, and more, are airing it live. NPR will broadcast it.  

It’s a big deal that broadcast networks will air the Comey hearing live
