Explorer Adrien de Gerlache designed this three-master, which was built in Scotland. The Mercator had only two commanders and made 54 voyages. In 1936, the Mercator brought back the remains of Father Damien. In 1960, the Mercator entered the port of Antwerp. In 1961, it was converted into a museum ship. Since 1964, the Mercator has been a gem in the crown of Ostend. After extensive renovations that lasted a year and a half, the ship has been owned by the City of Ostend since April 1, 2017, and is now part of the maritime heritage of the City.
