The Flying P-Liners were the sailing ships of the German shipping company F. Laeisz of Hamburg. Most of them were used to transport salpetre from Chile to Europe but also to trade with Australia and New Zealand. Their names originated from the company's habit to give ship's names which start with the letter "p". Some are famous like the "Preußen" for being one of the biggest sailing ships in the world others were famous for their tragic loss like "Pamir" in 1957. Today only 4 Flying P-Liners remain: Pommern, Passat, Peking and ex Padua also known as Russian training ship Krusenstern.

In 1958, when I was 6, my mom took me to see the film WINDJAMMER about a cruise of the Norwegian sail training ship Christian Radich. I was so enthralled, she bought me the accompanying book by Alan Villiers, which included a passage on the loss of the Pamir in 1956 (80 lost, 6 survivors), which was still on the public consciousness at the time. It was years until I could read and comprehend it, but I treasure it still. In 1964, I went to see the first Operation Sail in New York Harbor - convinced that would be the last time in history such an event would occur. As a bonus, on the ferry trip from New Jersey to New York, I got to see the SS United States putting to sea bound for Southampton. With that you would think I became a naval officer, but I ended up having a career as an Army officer. BUT, I was able to get leave and attend the Statue of Liberty Bicentenial and its Parade of Ships over twenty years later.

And that's very good, but Ch R has NOTHING IN COMMON with windjammers at all. By the way, the ship's surgeon of the Pamir worked during her last voyage preparing materiał for a film on windjammers. NOW pit od four remaining windjammers of Laeisz Co. no less than two are now in Germany, one in Mariehamn Aaland, and one still in service.

I think an update on the Peking is in order: It was in desolate condition and sold in 2016 for USD 1.00 to a German foundation ”Hamburg Maritim” which brought it back to Germany at great cost. Currently it is being painstakingly restored at a shipyard close to Hamburg and will be part of a collection of Museum ships at the newly founded Hamburg port museum probably from fall 2020 - COVID permittig.

Thanks for the update, i believe Peking and Passat are true Sisterships. On my last trip to Germany in 2008 i went to Travemunde and spend a whole Day on the Passat. In the 60th i was a Mate in the German Merchant Navy and learned all about the P-Liners. In 1992 i bought a 30ft. Sailboat and named it Passat, she still sailes the Pacific-Northwest.

Peking was at South Street in New York. They had quite a collection of ships in the 70s, and I've heard grumblings of corruption on the Board of South Street. This makes me worry about the Wavertree which I hope is not being neglected in New York.

It is hard to believe but my granddad was born in 1884 and from he was 16 in 1900 till about 1905 he sailed on voyages out of both Hamburg and Cardiff with sailing ships to Australia for Grain and Chile for saltpeter. They may have been graceful and non polluting but he always told me that it was a HARD life. Especially rounding the horn was hard and dangerous. He told me that when you were up in the rigging it was one hand for yourself and one for the sail. When aloft they almost never wore shoes as bare feet gripped better; even in winter.

@juandavidrestrepoduran6007 Год назад

Nah, it’s totally believable. Assuming you’re in your 70's more or less, it’s quite likely you had a grandparent born in the 1880's, and casually had the privilege of sailing these ships.

@chuckbrasch4575 Год назад

Beautiful video of all these great ships.. My father sailed on the L'Avenir as a trainer. This ship sailed out of Antwerp as a training ship. It was rigged identicle to the Pamir. I remember my dad talking about her when he was still alive... May they all be remembered..........

@russellking9762 4 года назад

In the early 1980's i stayed in a boarding house in Wellington NZ. Whilst there i had the pleasure of meeting Karl Nustrom a Norwegian who once was a sailor aboard the Pamir. I was only 16yrs old at the time and i guess he was in his mid 50's. A big solid and tough quietly spoken man who spoke fairly good english. He used to enthral me with storie's of his time at sea and the place's he'd been...i remember he used to eat thick slice's of bread that he would bake himself and sardine's in oil washed down with vinegar...one of the very few people i have met over the coarse of my life that left an indelible impression on me....i was befriended by someone who was descended from the Viking's and i am so proud and honoured to have known this man....!

@wiltzu81 Год назад

Finnish shipowner Gustaf Erikson used to own three of those Flying P's after the germans and practically was last shipowner to operate windjammers in commercial trade in the thirties. He had Passat, Pommern and Pamir which he purchased during 1920'ties from Laeisz. Among of 40+ other windjammers he used to own plus about 50+ windjammers he partially owned, he was actually the largest operator of windjammers in the world. Sadly everything good comes to the end and in the late thirties he had only 15 windjammers and during the second world war he lost many vessels either by destroyed or confiscated. After the war he had only three big ships left: Pommern, Passat and Viking and was out of money and could not repair them. He also tried to get three confiscated ships back but without luck. He died 1947. Confisticated ships were Pamir, Moshulu, Archibald Russell and Lawhill. Today, most likely, we would not have Pommern and Passat to see live without Gustaf's interest and love of those windjammers. They would have been dismantled already in the late 1920s. Edit: Small clip about Gustaf Erikson and his legacy: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zZOrvmsaHxM.html

Back in the 70's I sailed in two ex Laiez ships. Pelion and Parnassus. A female passenger asked one day in the saloon, what the significance of the FL on the crockery was. ( the introductory frame is of the company logo on the crockery) Straight-faced, I told her the previous owners were in the bulk contraceptive trade. She responded with a big eyed "Oh!". The old man was apopleptic and tore a strip off me after she left the table. :-)

Here the the first part of official race of "Opiration Sail 76" started to the Santa Cruse de Tenerife. The second part was from Santa Cruse de Tenerife to Bermuda. The third part part was from Bermuda to New-York. In New York official race finished. From New York we return to Santa Cruse and then to Riga. In New York was a parade.

Dear Sir, just a note to clarify the destiny of the "Priwall". This sailing ship was in Valparaiso, Chile when WWII broke out and later the Nazi government gave it to the Chilean Navy in 1941.This ship was transformed in the Chilean Navy Training Ship "Lautaro" were it served until 1945 were it was lost in a fire at sea, carrying Nitrate to the USA off the coast of the port of Callao, Perú.

@DrGull1888 9 лет назад

Ah, I didn't know that. Thanks a lot for sharing.

@djhound 8 лет назад

+Gonzalo Lagarini The Priwall's demise, according to audio recordings of a Capt. Brenner (from Port Hamburg who sailed the nitrate trade from 1919-24 on the Priwall, Passat, and Parma), occurred off the coast of San Francisco. He had sat with my grandfather (sailed Moshulu) in 1982 and relived a few stories. He spoke of the Priwall being located in Valparaiso, as Gonzalo mentions, under the German flag come WWII, eventually given as a gift to the Chilean government by the Nazis in hopes of gaining the neutral country's alliance. Chile going on to enter the war on the side of the alliances, had then sent the ship to San Francisco to be outfitted with 2 - 4000HP diesel engines and being renamed Lautaro. Upon her maiden test voyage, reaching about 200 miles off the coast, the ship blew up. Most thought sabotage from what Brenner mentions, you could even speculate Germany's involvement either that or just simple faulty installation of the engines. Lots of neat stories though, hope it helps direct some insight.

@lagartija270 8 лет назад

Dear Sir, sorry to say but what you have mentioned is not correct, I am a Navy retired officer of the Chilean Navy and have the detail history of the last moments of this splendid sailing ship. She shipped off Valparaiso on the 28th of February (summer season) on her training trip to Mexico and the USA with new midshipman and sailors. Also she was carrying nitrate as cargo. As she was sailing off the coast of Perú heading north, the inner quarters of ship was beginning to turn very hot, and it was decided to widen a ventilation shaft to have better ventilation. The XO threw a par of keys in the ventilation shaft to see were it landed, (it is important to say that, since it was a gift from the Nazi Government, the Chilean Navy did not have the detail plans of the ship) as it landed in a safe area, the cutting was authorised. Unfortunately, that ventilation shaft had another direction towards the cargo bay were the nitrate was being transported.. an unfortunate spark started a fire, which finally sealed her fate. So as you can see, it was not a sabotage, it was a terrible accident at sea. 21 Officers and seamen lost their lives trying to save the ship. The rest of the crew spend 32 hours at sea waiting to be rescued. As the sailing ship was being towed to the port of Callao, she sunk.

Loaded with nitrate she had fire in the hold and sunk while being towed to safe port. 20 lives were lost officers, midshipmen and sailors

Google the flying clipper. It was build last year in Croatia and it's the biggest ship with sails in the world.

Ich war dabei, als die Peking nach Hamburg kam. I was there when the Peking arrived in Hamburg.

I recommend the book by Eric Newby called "The Last Grain Race" about his journey on a four masted barque Moshulu for anyone interested in this subject.

His "Voyage"..... a journey takes place on land ... . 😀✌

The Moshulu is now a restaurant in Philly at Penn's landing

Preussen, wow!

@mybluebelly 12 лет назад

My great grandfather scratchbuilt the "Preussen" i don`t know some 60 years ago in metal because he worked on this ship. The model is a real showstopper and is secured inside a glassmonter and a high-seas diorama. I don`t know wheather or not it is the Preussen I or II, but if you are interested in seeing the model, i will be glad to send a couple of pictures to you :-) It is not for sale or anything though, but it is a true masterpiece (built over 16 years!) and the sentimental value is huge.

So when can we expect to see a sailing ship designed to carry a super tanker load of oil around the world? What would it look like?

@bigredc222 4 года назад

I can see it with 50 or 100 vertical wings, no canvas.

Vessels similar to these should be extant and useful. Technology that serves obselescence and waste serves wealth that destroys its owners or their descendants.

I think you’re leaving the descriptions up for too long.

@Kim-the-Dane-1952 3 года назад

By the way Padua is technically not a "ship" but a "barque" because the aft mast is not square rigged.

@olgreywolf9688 4 года назад

Really interesting vid. Well done ... except ... the images are being cycled far too quickly. As someone else pointed out ... just not enough time to enjoy the images, study details, or even read the descriptions. Especially for the elderly!! I couldn't even read half-way through some of the details before the next image popped up!!

The pause button is your friend...

@olgreywolf9688 4 года назад

Hey ... yeah ... thanks. Just discovered that a second click on pause eliminates the grey-out. Had always annoyed me that clicking pause almost blanked out the image. Second click on image, anywhere, eliminates the grey out. Thanks again.

@olgreywolf9688 4 года назад

Sorry .... To clarify my last .... that SECOND click must be anywhere on the image BUT on the pause idon!

@thegrayknight71 10 лет назад

Great video. Thanks. A 5 mast ship is bigger/longer and can take more cargo than a 4 mast ship. But is a 5-6 mast ship better? Faster? More stable?

@tobyque9399 6 лет назад

Kyrre Forland. I dont think so. The smaller thw vessel, the more maneuverable and stable she will be.

These were fast ships, faster than tramp steam ships. Longshormen killed sailing ships. They could only make money if they could use their substantial crew to load and unload cargo.
