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.

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..........

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.

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.

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....!

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.

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.

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.

+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 жыл бұрын

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.

Corrección to the history of Priwall, she was donated by Germany to the Republic of Chile in 1939 in order to avoid seizure by Allied country. Was renamed Lautaro and sailed as training vessel for the Chilean Navy while performing commercial voyages. On 28th February 1945 while underway in front of Peruvian coast

I took a few video shots on the Pommern which originally was built for the Flying P Line. She is located as a museum ship in Mariehamn, Aland, in the Baltic sea. The music you can hear are songs which occasionally were heard onboard during their round-the-world grain race. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mpyAlaVlz7bMgH0.html

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

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.

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 3 жыл бұрын

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 3 жыл бұрын

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

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

You need to do two things: make your captions longer time-wise so one can read tall what you have to say. The other thing is that you should put the captions above the hulls as all sails look much the sam e but hulls are what I want to see, and I'm almost certain others would agree.

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?

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