In October 2012, the Jubilee Sailing Trust tall ship Lord Nelson set off on a voyage around the world: 4 times across the Equator, 7 continents, 50,000 miles, and 30 countries!
Join us for the adventure of a lifetime.
Lord Nelson is the first disability-accessible tall ship to sail around the world. This epic voyage is partnered by Norton Rose. This global law firm supports the JST's values of diversity, inclusion and integration - where physically disabled people, including wheelchair users, will sail side by side with able-bodied people every sea-mile of the way.
The firm has offices in many of Lord Nelson's stopover ports and they are enabling disabled people from those ports to take part in the Norton Rose Sail the World Challenge.
