Die "Thalassa" ist ein eindrucksvolles, robustes und äußerst seefestes Schiff mit den klassischen Linien traditioneller Segelschiffe. 1994 wurde der Windjammer zu einer Barkentine umgebaut, einem Segelschiff mit drei Masten und insgesamt 14 Segeln.

In my youth I had the privilege of working on the "California", a Beautiful Barkentine configured such as this only she was smaller.
I climbed all over the rigging, and would sit a top the highest yardarm spotting Greywhales.
This vessel had sailed around the world and is the vessel featured (with pictures) in the book: "Give me the World" by: Leila Hadley.
Although operated as a tourist attraction we did sail quite a bit, even blew-out sails in heavy seas.
Sadly, sank off Point Loma, California
