Since Monday children of the Gustav Falke School have been placing on board. They arrived together with music teacher Juliane Tief and as you can see they have a lot to do! For example the daily ship routine “Rein Schiff” in the morning. Joseph Conrad, a Polish-British writer, commented on this in his book “Der Spiegel der See – Erinnerungen und Eindrücke”, published in 1906: “The ship routine is a great comforter for sore hearts and woe to thoughts. I have seen her appease the most impetuous spirits. She heals, brings peace and contentment with the completed cycle, because every day of life on board seems to close a circle in the wide ring of the horizon. The majestic monotony of the sea gives a certain value to this monotony of the ship’s routine, and those who love the sea love it too.”
