About the Irene
Irene is one of the last West Country traditional trading ketches to sail our seas; a 1907 120ft gaffer with a few stories to tell. Built in the docks at Bridgwater in 1907 by FJ Carver and Son, she had a long career hauling cargo, before a period of abandonment and neglect. She has featured in several films and adverts, including Disney’s infamous ‘The Pirates of the Caribbean’ and is now awaiting you aboard.
