"The Story Of Hawila" - Rebuilding an old wooden sailing ship in Denmark!

This is "The Story Of Hawila" - a series documenting the refit and community surrounding the ship "S/V Hawila", a traditional wooden sailing ship built in 1935 in Norway. A group of friends saved the ship from destruction. They formed the not-for-profit organisation "Hawila Project" in 2014 and have operated the vessel as a platform for culture and education since then. The vision has always been to bridge coastal communities and engage the public in challenging issues surrounding globalization, overconsumption, and the climate crisis. Now, the goal is to integrate ethical transport of sustainably produced organic goods, which is why the ship has been in a structural overhaul since September 2020 in Holbæk, Denmark. Hawila will be sailing 60 tons of organic products and trainees across the Atlantic in an emission-free way, showing that respectful, ethical, and clean transport is possible. In this intro to our series "The Story Of Hawila", we are bringing Hawila back into the water at the end of March 2022 after 3 months of intense work on the hull. In the following episodes, we will introduce team members, show the work that has already been done and give you more insight into the community around the ship.
