Belem is a French three-masted barque, launched in 1896. She displaces around 750 tons and measures 58 metres in length. Originally built as a cargo ship for the West Indies sugar trade, her sleek hull and full rig allowed her to carry significant cargo while remaining fast under sail (up to 12 knots).

Belem began her career transporting sugar and cocoa between the Caribbean and France. In 1901, while en route to the West Indies, she narrowly avoided disaster when the eruption of Mount Pelée destroyed the town of Saint-Pierre on Martinique; Belem was anchored safely in a nearby port and thus escaped the catastrophe. In 1972 she was purchased for preservation and underwent extensive restoration, returning to her original glory as a sail training ship. Since then, she has participated in numerous sail training programs and maritime festivals, offering hands-on experience of classic sailing to generations of enthusiasts. Her speed, manoeuvrability and compact size, as well as her graceful silhouette, will make her a splendid addition to any player's fleet. She will be a perfect ship for any auxiliary missions.
