Visit of the MV Plancius, April 2017

The MV Plancius arrived at Tristan on Sunday morning 9th April 2017. Unfortunately disembarkation at 8:30am had to be postponed due to the sea conditions.  An hour later, however, visitors were very relieved to finally be ashore and taking part in the guided tour to the 1961 Volcano followed by a visit to the Thatched House Museum.
