The Mission to Seafarers Singapore is calling for teams of fit and healthy shipping professionals to climb the masts of the sailing ship Royal Albatross (built 2001), as part of a special fundraising event scheduled for 4 September.

The seamen’s welfare organisation, which several years back had teams of rowers circle the entire island state, will have 12 teams of 10 scale the heights of the four-masted, barquentine-rigged ship.
