Four have been sailing the oceans for many years, while the fifth the Tre Kronor af Stockholm is a newly built vessel launch in 2005. Each of these vessels is a representation of the brig sailing type vessel that requires a large crew. In today's modern age a large number of sailing students can be trained on these ships at the same time. The name of each ship is listed below:
