johanna lucretia
Top Sail Schooner
The Johanna Lucretia was built in 1945 at the Rhoose shipyard in Ghent, Belgium.
Although originally built as a fishing vessel, she was never used for this purpose. She laid
as a completed hull and deck unsold for a number of years before being sold in 1952, then
being converted and completed in 1954 for recreational use by her owner Ber Van Meer.
She sailed Dutch waters from her home port of Enkhuizen in the Netherlands.
In 1989 there was a change of ownership to Ms. Heather Henning, who registered Johanna
as a British vessel with Plymouth as her home port. In 1991/1992 she was refitted at
T. Nielsen & Company in Gloucester, to her present configuration and was used for private
charter from Gibraltar, The Caribbean and the East coast of the USA.
In 2001 she was brought by Chas Setterfield of Cutlass Classic Charters Limited. She was chartered
several times but in 2003 was abandoned in Gloucester Docks.
In 2008 she was arrested by British Waterways for non-payment of licences and mooring dues
and subsequently sold to her present owner.
After completing her refit and systems upgrade, her current schedule is for private hire and
personal use by the new owner.
