Earl of Pembroke was a wooden, three-mastedbarque, which was frequently used for maritime festivals, charters, charity fund raising, corporate entertaining and film work.[citation needed]
Earl of Pembroke was built inPukavik,Sweden asOrion in 1945 and used to haul timber in theBaltic Sea until 1974 when she was laid up inThisted, Denmark.[1]
She was moved to the UK in 1980 where her full restoration began in 1985.[2][3] As part of the restoration, her rig was changed from the originalschooner tobarque type (to resemble the famousHMS Endeavour on whichCaptain Cook discoveredAustralia) and she was renamedEarl of Pembroke[citation needed] (HMSEndeavour was calledEarl of Pembroke when she worked as a coal trader in the West Country).[citation needed]
The restoration was designed with festivals and film work in mind. The three-masted rig and the uninterrupted decks containing no superstructure or wheelhouse create the silhouette of a classic sailing ship so she needs only minimal work to get a period correct aerial or side shot. With some effort she can also be made to look like an oldSpanish Galleon orsteam-sailing ship from the age of theArctic expeditions.[citation needed]
Following restorationEarl of Pembroke was used in the production of films[citation needed] and attended a number of festivals including:[citation needed]
