Albatross, originally named Albatros, later, was a sailing ship
built as a schooner at the state shipyard in Amsterdam, Netherlands,
in 1920, to serve as a pilot boat in the North Sea. The slender
shape of the hull and the relatively smooth lines of the deck
were copied from the French frigates, which frequently sailed
into ports on the American coast during the war of independence.
The first schooners, which were built in Baltimore, quickly
established themselves on both coasts of the USA and later
in other areas as well. On the west coast, they were used
for carrying timber and on the east coast mainly ship coal.
