THE DAILY HERALD: ‘WYLDE SWAN’ FINISHING BUSY CARIBBEAN SEASON
TRAINING THE YOUNGSTERS
Caribbean Sail Training Vessel Wylde Swan has been in St. Maarten for some time now, but has left the port of Marigot after a very busy Caribbean season. The vessel will first go Curacao, before passing Cuba and then back to the Netherlands.
The Wylde Swan was famous for making 6-week trips from St Maarten to mostly Grenada and some other islands laying south, with mainly young sailors from the Netherlands.
