Joachim is Patron & Marie will be attending along with Joachim to the event.

August 9
HRH Prince Joachim involved as the patron together with HRH Princess Marie of Denmark School ship sailing from Toldboden in Copenhagen Vedbæk at 10:30

I'm not quite sure whether Princess Marie is Patron as well, it's not listed
in her patronages list on the official website of the Royal Family, and
- which caught my attention - you can also translate the event description
in a different way: "Prince Joachim involved as Patron will attend together
with Princess Marie.." - so that's not quite clear..

Joachim is heading a fundraiser for the purpose of financing a trip around the world for the shool ship Danmark.
Marie has been with him onboard the ship before.

Danmark was build in 1930's as steel hulled, full rigged, tall ship, after one of her predecessors, København = Copenhagen, disappeared with all hands somewhere off Greenland.
During WWII, she served with the US Coast Guard as a school ship.

She has since her construction trained countless officer cadets for the merchant fleet.

I hope there will be raised enough money for her to sail around the globe. She is a beautiful ship and an excellent ambassador for Denmark and for a career as a ships officer.

Do you have pictures Muhler of the ship?
True iceflower, the description is not clear (title changed).

ADDDED: This is about København = Copenhagen, the other ship that vanished in 1928.
Not off Greenland as I wrote but on the way to Australia, with 45 cadets and 15 other crew members.

Marie said in her easy to understand Danish: "I've sailed all my life and I love it".

The appropriately attired Joachim talked about the facination of a tall ship, that everything is done manually.

Since 2005 Prince Joachim is Patron of the open-air museum Hjerl Hede
in Vinderup, Denmark. The museum shows the development of the Danish
village from the year 1500 up to about 1900. Prince Joachim first visited
the old village on the occasion of the museum's 75th anniversary in June 2005.

** Information: hjerlhede.dk ** Patronage/Visit in 2005 **


Yesterday, August 13, Prince Joachim together with Prince Nikolai and Prince
Felix visited the museum again on the occasion of 100 years for the purchase
of the land by businessman H.P. Hjerl Hansen in 1910 which made the museum possible.

Thanks for the delightful pics

Summary of article in Billed Bladet #33, 2010.
Tre Prinser på heden - Three Princess on the moor.
Written by Ken Richter.

The three Princes visited Hjerl Hede open air museum in central Jutland. The museum show details from rural life more than a 100 years or so ago. The museum is 100 years old.
Huge tracts of western Jutland used to be moor beforehand, but in the mid 1800's and also a direct consequence of the defeat in 1864, where Denmark lost so much fertile land, the moor was put under the plough. That is an unglamorous but economically important part of Danish history.

A couple of enthusiatic boys, and a probably no less enthusiatic dad tried driving with a steam locomotive, try riding a væltepeter = velocipede, apparantly also known as penny-farthing. You know, the oldfashioned bikes with a huge front wheel.
They aso tried making pancakes over open fire, have a look at an ox-cart and try their luck as black smiths.
They also had a closer look at the animals that are still present at the remaining moor. I.e. holding an adder and a lizard.
The smith required some help from a couple of boys, Nikolai and Felix and started out by stating: "You look like a couple of rascals". "They are", agreed Joachim on the spot.
Here they helped the smith at the anvil, operating the big bellow and the result was a small skinning knife as used by the Greenlanders, which the boys got home with them as a present. Another present was a horse shoe made from copper.
Felix was cracking up when the way too big bowler worn by the smith was placed on and nearly over his head. A luck he's got ears! (*)

Joachim said afterwards: "The boys have swallowed it all up (the experience) and they have seen that it was possible to have fun more than a 100 years ago, where there wasn't so much modern technology.
The children take it in in a completely different way, when they see it in real life. It's completely different from a modern amusement park where everything have to be bigger and wilder".

- And this concludes the summaries for this week.

(*) Many navere = travelling artisans, still wear the traditional clothing associated with their guilds. In this case a bowler hat.

I never pictured Joachim as someone who would have anything to do with Rugby Union. Does he even know how to play the game?

Some nice pics too!
