The Story of the “Kruzenshtern”
The famous four-masted “Kruzenshtern” was launched on 24th June 1926 in Tecklenborg Shipyards at Wesermunde in Germany and was named “Padua”. It became part of the commercial fleet of sailing ships owned by the Laeisz Company. Together with her sister ships the “Pamir”, “Passat” and “Pekin”, the “Padua” became one of the stars in the legendary “Flying P” line linking with Chile and Australia.
These ships broke a number of speed records in competition with new cargo vessels.
The “Padua” could take into her holds 4.000 tons of bulk cargo. Every voyage there were 40-50 young men on board, those who had decided to become professional seamen. During the voyage they worked together with deckhands preparing themselves for their sea career.
Her last voyage as a cargo vessel the “Padua” made on the eve of World War II.
After the Second World War the ship was handed over to the Soviet Union on the reparation basis and renamed the “Kruzenshtern” in honour of the famous Russian navigator and hydrographer, who was the first to circumnavigate the world under the Russian flag in the years 1803 and 1806.
The ship has an unlimited range of sailing. Her four masts carry 3.670 sq. meters of sail.
Since 1960-s she has been used for training cadets of the Soviet Fisheries schools and colleges. At the present time she is the training vessel of the Baltic Fishing Fleet State Academy in Kaliningrad, the southernmost Baltic port of Russia.
The “Kruzenshtern” can accommodate the crew of 62 tutors, and over 120 cadets. There are two classrooms for studies, a training navigation bridge and a chart – room and radio-room. There are a messroom and a library and a museum in the ship, as well as a sauna and showers and a bakery.
