After knowing several lives, moving from the luxury sailboat under the English to a school ship in Venice, in 1979 it ends up being owned by the Caisse d'Epargne bank. Through the Belem Foundation, and many volunteers involved in the restoration project, it has become the school ship we know. In 1984, it was declared a historical monument and continues to sail all over the world.
