The restored ship “Regentag”, known by the former owner and artist Friedensreich Hunderwasser, moored in the city harbor of Tulln on the Danube. The former Australian oceangoing boat under sails in its home port: built in 1910 as a motorboat with a length of 11.9. Purchased by Hundertwasser in 1968 in Plermo and rebuilt and lengthened to 16.2 meters at the Menetto Pompilio shipyard in Pelestrina, Venice. Renamed from „San Giuseppe T“ to „Regentag“. In 1975/76 Regentag was transferred to New Zealand by sea via the Atlantic, Panama Canal, Pacific. After an accident in 1995 she ran aground. She was repaired at Asby’s Boat Yard, Opua, Bay of Islands and decorated with new details by the artist. In 2004, Regentag was presented as part of an exhibition in honor of the late Friedensreich Hunderwasser in Austria. The ship has been a listed building since 2015 and has been lovingly restored to its current splendor for years.
