Christian Radich is a beautiful old sailing ship. Its home in Oslo is at Akershusutstikkeren below Akershus Fortress, but it is often out on the sea. The ship is normally closed to visitors except groups on request. From the kiosk at the dock, you can sign up for membership in Friends of Christian Radich and buy souvenirs.
Christian Radich was a cavalry officer, managing director of a sawmill and ship owner in Kristiania (now Oslo) - and a great sail training ship enthusiast. In 1884 he donated NOK 90.000,- to the building of a new sailing training ship.
The ship has had a dramatic history as a sail training ship since its launch in 1937. Since 1999 the ship has divided its time between the charter market, sightseeing tours, summer trips to foreign ports with paying trainees on board, the Cutty Sark Tall Ships Races and large sailing events in various European ports.
