May Be

May Be is a recently restored Dutch sailing ketch which was commissioned in the 1920s. She took part in the first Tall Ships Race in 1956.

She has had an interesting history having sailed around most if not all of the world's oceans. Rommel used her as his private yacht to entertain his officers during World War II. After the war, she was returned to her owners and she then spent much time sailing around the world.
