The Belem was a merchant ship (1896-1913) On 10 June 1896, the Dubigeon shipyards in Chantenay-sur-Loire launched the three-masted Belem for the Crouan shipping company. From 1896 to 1913, the ship was fitted out for trade and made 33 transatlantic voyages, mainly to Brazil, from where she brought back cocoa beans for the chocolate maker Menier, her first sponsor, and also to French Guiana and the West Indies to transport rum and sugar. In 1914 the Belem became a British luxury yacht 1914 - 1950
