Launched in Denmark in 1882 as the George Stag, the full-rigged iron-hulled ship was used for training till it was sold to become a private yacht in 1934. Owned and captained by Alan Villiers and used for long distance sea voyages, the stories became a best selling book in 1937.
 After serving as a training ship again after WW2, the Conrad was retired to become a museum ship at the Mystic Seaport Museum where it is today.
