Santa Maria Manuela Manual
SANTA MARIA MANUELA SHIPS MANUAL FOR TRAINEE GUESTS WELCOME AND INTRODUCTION Santa Maria Manuela (SMM) was launched on May 10 1937, in Lisbon, Portugal. The ship was built in the CUF shipyard in 62 days, together with its sister ship Creoula. The moment when the hull of SMM touched the waters of the River Tagus was witnessed by thousands, capturing the hearts of the people of Portugal, and marking the beginning of an iconic journey. Between 1937 and 1993, SMM transported thousands of sailors to Newfoundland and Greenland in the pursuit of cod, the prize catch for the people of Portugal. Life was harsh onboard. Sailors had to contend with cramped cold conditions below decks, and above with the bitter chill of the north winds, frequent storms and long hours fishing the perilous seas of the Grand Banks in small boats. In 1940 a new danger emerged; the submarines of the II World War. Santa Maria Manuela is one of the last ships of the mythical White Fleet – a group of cod-fishing vessels that had their hulls painted white to avoid being torpedoed during the military conflicts. Between 2007 and 2010 the ship was rebuilt by the fishing group Pascoal, and subsequently was taken on by Recheio Cash & Carry, part of the Jeronimo Martins Group. The farsighted vision of the current owners has created a culture of sail training, expedition, exploration and team development aboard the Santa Maria Manuela. Passenger trainees are welcomed aboard as members of the sailing crew. During your voyage you will be given every opportunity get personally involved in the sailing of the ship.

After 88 Years - Four-Masted Barque PEKING Back in Her Homeport Hamburg
Four-masted barque PEKING - shifting Wewelfsfleth to Hamburg - September 2020 After 88 Years - Four-masted Barque PEKING Back In Her Homeport Hamburg Four-masted barque PEKING - shifting Wewelfsfleth to Hamburg - September 2020 On February 25, 1911 - 109 years ago - the four-masted barque PEKING was launched for the Hamburg ship- ping company F. Laeisz at the Blohm & Voss shipyard in Hamburg. The 115-metres long, and 14.40 metres wide cargo sailing ship had no engine, and was robustly constructed for transporting saltpetre from the Chilean coast to European ports. The ship owner’s tradition of naming their ships with words beginning with the letter “P”, as well as these ships’ regular fast voyages, had sailors all over the world call the Laeisz sailing ships “Flying P-Liners”. The PEKING is part of this legendary sailing ship fleet, together with a few other survivors, such as her sister ship PASSAT, the POMMERN and PADUA, the last of the once huge fleet which still is in active service as the sail training ship KRUZENSHTERN. Before she was sold to England in 1932 as stationary training ship and renamed ARETHUSA, the PEKING passed Cape Horn 34 times, which is respected among seafarers because of its often stormy weather. In 1975 the four-master, renamed PEKING, was sold to the USA to become a museum ship near the Brooklyn Bridge in Manhattan. There the old ship quietly rusted away until 2016 due to the lack of maintenance. -Af ter returning to Germany in very poor condition in 2017 with the dock ship COMBI DOCK III, the PEKING was meticulously restored in the Peters Shipyard in Wewelsfleth to the condition she was in as a cargo sailing ship at the end of the 1920s.

TALL SHIPS® Hamilton (June 28-30, 2013) - Tall Ship Profiles Pier 8, Hamilton, Ontario
TALL SHIPS® Hamilton (June 28-30, 2013) - Tall Ship Profiles Pier 8, Hamilton, Ontario Fair Jeanne History and Background A more modern member of the tall ship family, the Fair Jeanne was built by the Ottawa River between 1979 and 1982 in the backyard of the late Captain Fuller. The keel was launched in 1978 and launched in 1980. Since that time, the ship was sailed by the captain and his wife to locations in the Caribbean and the seas of Europe. During the past 15 years alone, the ship has logged over 280,000 kilometres. In 1984, the Fuller family founded the Bytown Brigantine Foundation which included the Fair Jeanne’s sister ship, the STV Black Jack, which has its port at the Brittania Yacht Club. After 14 years of the yacht being sailed by the family, the Fair Jeanne was added to the foundation’s sail training program as well, allowing the Bytown Brigantine to expand its program to offer sail training for youth between the ages of 15-18. Donated by Mrs. Jeanne Fuller, the ship was now to be used by young trainees as part of the sail training programs on the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Seaway. With her home port in Ottawa, the Fair Jeanne travels mostly close to home with the majority of her jaunts on Lake Ontario. She is berthed in Kingston, Ontario during the summer months. Beginning her life as the Fuller family’s private family yacht, and moving on to be one of the fleet of the internationally-revered Tall Ships, the U.S.S.

Tall Ships® 101
August 10, 2005 IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Sheila Gonzales (310) 732-3506 TALL SHIPS® 101 Stats and facts about the international tall ships participating in TallShips®LA, August 11-14 SAN PEDRO, Calif. – Be informed for TallShips®LA, August 11-14. With historical knowledge, vessel stats and fun facts, you will be able to recognize the tall ships, identify their key features and tout a little trivia! Fifteen international tall ships are scheduled to participate in the TallShips®LA, maritime event. Visiting ships include the Argus, Bill of Rights, Californian, Mexico’s Cuauhtémoc, Exy Johnson, Antigua’s Kaisei, Lynx, R. Tucker Thompson of New Zealand, Pilgrim, Robert C. Seamans, Royaliste, Spirit of Dana Point, Swift of Ipswich, Talofa and Tole Mour. For most people, a tall ship is a sailing vessel with three or more masts and many sails, as seen in the bygone era of the Errol Flynn movies. A tall ship, by definition, is a sailing vessel whose masts are in segments, made up of several timbers in order to give strength, and to make each mast more manageable for partial removal and repairs. The nostalgic definition is more commonly used when referring to any sailing vessel that provides sail training and participates in events such as tall ship races. For classification and race settings, the International Sail Training Association divides tall ships into three classes and several sub classes according to the vessels, sparred length and rig. A rig is the configuration, shape and number of the spars, poles, and sails. For further clarification, sailing rigs are divided into two broad categories determined by the fore and aft rig in which triangular shaped sails lie along the same direction as -more- TALL SHIPS 101 2-2-2 the ship's length, or the square rig which has squared or rectangular shaped sails attached to poles, which are perpendicular to (or go across) the vertical mast.
