A 100-year old tall sailing ship's epic voyage!

For the past 21 months, an over 100-year old Norwegian tall sailing ship has been traversing the globe, collecting data, conducting research, and working with stakeholders all around the world to create attention and share knowledge about the crucial role of the ocean toward a sustainable future from a global perspective. Termed the One Ocean Expedition, the ship - Statsraad Lehmkuhl - is wrapping up its circumnavigation of the globe and will be back in Norway in April 2023. This month's episode of The Ocean Decade Show features Haakon Steinar Vatle, the General Manager for the Lehmkuhl Foundation and Expedition Leader for the One Ocean Expedition, who provides Taylor with an overview of this epic voyage, what it takes to keep a tall ship running, and why this voyage is crucial to the goals of the Ocean Decade.
