A steam-propelled schooner called Anne Bonny, built in Oslo in 1905, has docked in the port of Malaga. It will be offered for hire to locals and tourists for leisure trips and company events. In the 1950s it had a diesel motor installed to convert it into a merchant vessel. In 1992 the boat was acquired by a French company that converted it into a sailing boat with three masts. It was purchased by its current owner in 2013. The boat is built entirely from steel and has remained unchanged in the 113 years since it was built.
