The Valborg was built in 1948 in Porvoo, southern Finland, as a cargo ship carrying mainly sand and timber between Finnish ports. After its retirement in the early 1970s, the Valborg was completely renovated and became a sail training ship for scouts. Today, the ship is owned by Valborg LTD.

Today, Valborg is used as a sail training ship, taking part in events such as The Tall Ships Races and offering charter trips to companies and private groups to finance the races. During the winter, Valborg remains in the water (and ice) and is used as an event venue with sauna.

3 young Dunkirkers were apprentice deckhands on the Valborg during the Tall Ship Race in July 2024.
