Queen of the Sea (Croatian: Kraljica mora) is a tall ship designed and used to train vocational school and university students in Croatia.[1] Constructed in 2009, she is the first training ship built after Croatia declared independence from SFR Yugoslavia.[2]
History
The financing and use of the vessel for training of students was adopted by the Croatian Government in mid-2007. The ship was designed by the engineers at the Croatian Shipbuilding Institute in Zagreb. Work dipping was conducted on November 13, 2009 in the shipyard Montmontaža - Greben in Vela Luka. Ministry of Maritime Affairs, Transport and Infrastructure entrusted the ship management services to the private company Adriatic Sea Service from Rijeka. In March 2013, management was taken over by the state-owned ferry operator, Jadrolinija.[3]
