Topsail Schooner Charlotte Rhodes Poster
She was built in 1904 in Denmark as the EVA. Like many sailing ships of her day, she was a workhorse and carried cargo from all over northern Europe to America during the early part of the 20th century. Later on she was sold and renamed to META JAN.
In the late 1960s she was bought by British owners and renamed CHARLOTTE RHODES. In 1971 she rose to fame when she appeared as one of the main ships to star in the popular BBC television series ‘‘The Onedin Line’’, the first ship owned by main character James Onedin, played by Peter Gilmore.
Unfortunately, she would be set on fire and destroyed in Amsterdam in 1979, an apparent victim of arson and her remains were broken up locally.
