Legendary captain Mogens Frohn Nielsen has passed away at the age of 75.  Mogens Frohn Nielsen pioneered the use of sailing ships as floating schools for youngsters with problems. He started the new way of learning in the late 1960s on the schooner Odeysseus. From 1970 he took command over the restored schooner Fulton, owned by the Danish National Museum, and managed by Fulton Stiftelsen. He left the institute in 1983 and has since been lecturing up to 110 times a year.
