Vessel Description

GRANDE HERMINE is a steel-hulled sailing training vessel operated by the Armada Nacional del Uruguay. She serves as a sail training ship for the Uruguayan Navy, providing seamanship instruction and maritime training to naval cadets and personnel. Named after one of Jacques Cartier's vessels from his 16th-century explorations of Canada, the ship represents a significant element of Uruguay's naval heritage and training program. Built in the Netherlands in 1963, she has served the Uruguayan Navy for decades as a dedicated training platform, participating in both coastal training operations and open-ocean voyages in the South Atlantic region.
