Dracula

Bram Stokers classic gothic horror novel covers many different themes and subjects, from suppressed sexuality, death and decay, to the clash of science and belief and the modern versus the ancient.

The last voyage of the Demeter is told in chapter 7 of Dracula using excerpts from the Captain's logbook and newspaper clippings. We have taken this part of the story to tell our very own version of it ... maybe this is what really happened on the Demeter?

This event takes place on a traditional sailing vessel: the three mast gaff schooner Pippilotta. The main purpose of the Pippilotta, when the ship is not roleplaying as the Demeter, is to train traditional sailing.

This means that you do not need any experience to take part in this adventure.

Even better: you can learn traditional sailing while on board!
