The “legendary” Moshulu is indeed the world’s oldest and largest square rigged sailing vessel still afloat. She is in fact the one and only restaurant venue on a Tall Ship today in the World. Built by William Hamilton & Co., Port of , in 1904 for the G.J.H Siemers Co. of , as the four-masted Kurt. This “state-of-the-art” sailing ship was the finest and latest of man’s achievement in the world’s shipbuilding industry for the construction of bulk or packaged cargo sailing ships. With her impressive dimensions of 359 ft. in length (on deck), 47 ft. in breadth and of 3,116 gross tons, the Moshulu ex Kurt began her colorful career carrying to Chilean ports (via ) and returning to Hamburg with some 5,000 long tons of nitrate followed by several voyages laden with coke and patent fuel to Santa Rosalia, Baha California, again returning with a full cargo of nitrate. With 34 sails equaling 45,000 sq. ft., the Moshulu’s route to took her around Cape Horn a remarkable 54 times without incident, with a crew compliment of 35 men maximum. In 1912, her routes changed to carrying coal from Newcastle, Australia to Chilean ports and again bringing valuable nitrate to Germany. On her last voyage under the Siemers Co., she discharged coke and fuel at Santa Rosalia, then sailed for Astoria, for orders intending to sail from Portland with grain, when the voyage was interrupted by in 1917. In an American Port, the U.S. Navy confiscated the Ship as prize booty and kept her in commission, temporarily named Dreadnaught meaning “fearless” after the famous clipper ships of the time. Re-named the Moshulu by Mrs. Woodrow Wilson (of Indian extraction herself) to honor the native American Seneca Indian Tribe meaning “One who Fears Nothing” and now under American flag, the refurbished barque loaded 2,400,000 board feet of lumber for Sidney, Australia, returning to with 16,867 bales of wool, but not before out sailing a steam powered German raider while quelling a suspected mutiny among traitorous members of the crew. Following several successful voyages to Australia and the Philippines with steel, lumber and cased gasoline and returning with hemp, sugar, copra and coconut oil, the Moshulu was acquired by the Charles Nelson Co. of San Francisco, a lumber firm, for $40,000 and sailed as a lumber carrier to and from and San Pedro, California until 1931; where she was laid up in Winslow, Bainbridge Island, for four long colorless years due to the advent of the more economical steam carriers and the 1929 decline of the lumber trade. Another saving grace in 1935, when she was the purchased for $12,000 by Gustaf Erickson of , a successful ship owner of 25 vessels, 11 four-masted barque windjammers, who had found profits in bringing grain from Australia in a fleet of iron and steel. Sailing ships, including the Moshulu, , Archibald Russell, , , , Killoran, Winterhude, Olivebank and other great ships that became famous as the “ of the mid and late thirties. On June 10, 1938, the very last grain race of square-rigged sailing ships between Australia and Europe was won by the Moshulu while carrying 59,000 bags of grain, weighing 4875 tons with a record speed of 16 knots in 91 days (15,000 miles) from Australia to Queenstown Cobh Ireland, under the Command of Master Captain Mikael Sjogren with a crew of 33, which included two Americans, J. Ferrell Colton of Molokai, Hawaii publisher of “Windjammer Significant” and John W. Albright of Long Beach, California, who would become a square rigged ship Captain himself. The first ship home would fetch the best price for their Aussie gold. The outbreak of World War II in all its fury on September 3, 1939 had an immediate effect on Captain Erickson and his beautiful fleet when most of the gallant ships were laid up, except for one more grain voyage for the Moshulu from to . Her last pay load under sail and last trip as a Finnish Ship. In November 1942, as the ship lay in , Norway which was occupied by Nazi forces, the German troops confiscated the Moshulu and stripped of her masts and spars. Another barque of Erickson, the Olivebank was sunk in a German minefield with her Captain and 13 crew. Through the “roaring” 40’s and early 50’s, the Moshulu experienced a rather sad variety of incidents. Shorn of masts and rig, these being destroyed by a bombardment, she broke her moorings, capsized in a gale near a beach close to shore off in 1947, only to be re-floated and put into early retirement. She was then purchased by the Finnish State Granary in 1961 for 3,200 tons of Russian rye, only to become a grain storage hulk in Finland. It was at the small and picturesque bay of Natali, Finland that Capt. Raymond E. Wallace found her as a storage hulk deeply laden with grain. Attracting the interest of David Tallichet of Specialty Restaurants Corp., the Moshulu was purchased to be restored and destined to become a museum-restaurant. Wallace contracted with a small yard in Scheveningen, Holland to fabricate masts, yards and standing rigging which were machine, not hand welded with lighter materials and had the ship towed to South Sea Seaport in New York. With the acquisition of the great barque by South Street Seaport, in 1974 the Moshulu was moved to Penn’s Landing in to fulfill her new role as a restaurant. Opening In 1975 as a restaurant, the Moshulu closed in 1989 after being damaged by a four-alarm fire. In 1994, the Moshulu was purchased by HMS Ventures, Inc.; under the late Mrs. Dodo Hamilton of the Campbell’s Soup family, and the Moshulu was painstakingly restored in Camden to her original glory and opened as a restaurant on the Delaware River in 1996, docked at Pier 34 on Philadelphia’s waterfront. In 2002, the Moshulu was relocated to its current location and opened its doors in May of 2003 by its current owners, Fearless Restaurants gaining recognition as an award winning, AAA four Diamond rated Restaurant, Bar and Deck. We pride ourselves with being part of the Moshulu’s historic past and future.

MOSHULU AS A MOVIE STAR

The Moshulu was seen in the movie Rocky (shown during one of Rocky’s workout sessions along the Philadelphia waterfront) and in The Godfather Part II (bringing the young Vito Corleone to America in the early 1900’s,) as well as in the end scene of the movie Blow Out. We hope you join us on this magnificent landmark restaurant.
