Re: Scandinavian coaster Aage.
Indeed a very nice picture of the Aage
She was built 1916 by Gebr. Figee, Vlaardingen as a steel sailing logger and named PALLAS IJM 287.
In 1929 converted to cargovessel in Sweden
In 1930 she came to Svendborg (DK) - renamed Aage, later ownership was moved to Rønne on the danish island of Bornholm
In 1975 she returned to NL, Rotterdam, where she was rebuilt into a sailing vessel and renamed Geesje van Urk. Later she was then renamed Iris - still in the Netherlands
It`s possible to Google her.
Abovementioned information partly by Mr. Tham Körner, Germany

@Loggerworld, many thanks for the quick reply.
Re: Scandinavian coaster Aage.
As far as I remember it was rebuilt by Karlshamns Skerppsvarv, Karlshamn, but not registered in Sweden, as sold directly to Denmark after the rebuilding.
