  • 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.

Peking will trade places with Wavertree in Staten Island, where the massive square-rigger will undergo preparations for a transAtlantic voyage, presumably her last, onboard a heavy-lift ship back to Hamburg, Germany, where she was originally built. There, she will be restored to begin a new life as the centerpiece of a new maritime museum being built by the German government. After the Manhattan-based maritime museum determined it could not afford to maintain two massive tall ships, a conversa- tion was initiated with the German govern- ment about its interest in taking possession of the ship.

The symposium was arranged by the Suntory and Toyota International Centres for Economics and Related Disciplines in association with the Japan Society, London. The period of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance covered three treaties of alliance. The first treaty was signed on 30 January 1902 and was intended to last for five years. But the Russo-Japanese War intervened; and the second treaty, a radically different treaty, was signed on 12 August 1905, before the treaty of peace between Japan and Russia was concluded. The alliance was revised again in the light of changing world circumstances. The third treaty was signed on 13 July 1911 and lasted until 17 August 1923 when it was formally replaced. It was the intention of the present symposium to reexamine the first decade of the alliance. The allliance which spanned the Russo-Japanese War and the First World War and covered the first quarter of the twentieth century has been in need of reassessment for some time.
