Kruzenshtern
1926 the Padua was built by the famous German shipping line F. Leisz as one of eight four-masted barques - the legendary Eight Sisters. Leiszs ships were known as the most reliable and fastest windjammers, passing cape Hoorn in few days and safely delivering saltpeter from Chile to Europe. The Padua even holds an unbroken record for a Hamburg - Chile - Australia - Hamburg Jurney in eight months and 23 days. After WW2 she was - like some of her sisters - surrendered to the allied forces and given to the USSR where she was refitted, equipped with two engines and renamed to Kruzenshtern. She now serves Russia as a training ship and is the last remaining flying-P-liner in service.

Wow, glad too see this ship here! I’ve visited the real one in St.Piterburg, when it had moored for a few days
Wow! I wish we could get one of these for mobile!

@ WahrscheinlichIch
@HerrokittyShoots227 do you? I call it 2.5 years of practice and a ton of pacience. My first creations were just as bad as anyones.
@Dllama4 I wanted to use that in the text but the site didn't support the fond. It just said "???????????".
this is what I call talent
@WahrscheinlichIch Sorry I messed up on the etymology... Yup, a ship with all masts except the mizzen rigged square, and the mizzen rigged fore-and-aft is a barque...
Insanity on the high seas.
