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.
