Meteorological Log of the Maiden Voyage – the “Peking” Returns Home Meteorological Log of the Maiden Voyage – the “Peking” Returns Home On 22 nd June 1991 a four-masted barque set sail from Hamburg on her maiden voyage, heading towards South America. It was the “Peking”, a brand new ship that was just handed over to the Hamburg shipping company F. Laeisz and became part of the fleet of the legendary “Flying-P-Liners”. More than 100 years later, at the end of July 2017, the "Peking" set course to Hamburg again. At last she had been a museum ship in New York with an eventful history. Her future place will be the new German Port Museum in Hamburg. However, the "Peking" could not make the return voyage on her own anymore. She was loaded on a dock ship of the Bremen shipping company Combilift, which carried her “piggyback” across the Atlantic. Before she will take her The Peking sailing on the Elbe estuary (Source: Stiftung Hamburg Maritim, © Hans Hartz) new place in the port museum, the “Peking” will be restored at the Peters shipyard in Wewelsfleth on the River Elbe. About 37 000 Meteorological Ship Logs It has been long time since this proud ship left the port of Hamburg for the last time. However, weather recordings of the "Peking" have been preserved in Hamburg until today. Twenty meteorological logs of the "Peking" are in the archives of DWD’s Hamburg Marine Meteorological Office (“Seewetteramt”). They originate from the period 1911 to Historic meteorological ship logs in the archive of DWD’s 1931 when the “Peking” sailed for Hamburg Marine Meteorological Office (Quelle: DWD) F. Laeisz. The meteorological logs were handed out by the “Deutsche Seewarte”, the predecessor organization of the Seewetteramt in Hamburg. After their return, the weather recordings were scientifically analysed in order to find optimized and safe shipping routes. Together with more than 37000 other historical meteorological ship logs from 1829 to the 1930s, the weather recordings of the “Peking” are an invaluable source of historic weather data. The entire archive forms one of the largest of its kind in the world. In former times as well as today, the ship logs are of great scientific value to collect and analyse climatological information about the weather at sea. Meteorological Shop Log of the Maiden Voyage As many others, the captains of the F. Laeisz shipping company received sailing instructions from the Deutsche Seewarte before they set sail. In return they agreed to conduct weather observations every 4 hours during their voyage and to record these in a meteorological log. When the Peking started her maiden voyage from Hamburg to Valparaiso in June 1911, she also had a meteorological log with her. From this meteorological log of the “Peking” we still can read precise information about the weather on her first voyage. The first entries in the meteorological log of the "Peking" at 23 rd June 1911. (Source: DWD) Shortly after departure, on 23 rd June 1911, the first entry is made in the log. The second officer Bendixen writes: „Steuern hinter Schlepper“; „2h Elbe 1 dwars“ . "Steering behind tug "; " 2h Elbe 1 abeam ". The sky is almost covered (8/10) Wind: SSW 3 Air pressure: 762.9 mm Hg Air temperature: 15.2 °C Water temperature: 14.7 °C some rain – overall a day with very normal North German rainy weather The route sailed by the “Peking” on her maiden voyage. The map depicts the noon positions with the respective wind barbs according to the observations (Source: DWD) The map allows us to follow the route of the maiden voyage. At first the Peking sailed across the North Sea, where she was caught in a storm with wind speeds up to 8 Bft. However, this storm should not be the last one. After a relatively calm passage on the Atlantic, the "Peking" was hit by gale-force winds in the sea area around Cape Horn on the 26 th and 27 th August. But she safely got through this heavy weather. On 14 th September 1911 we can read about the safe arrival Valparaíso: Entry of the arrival in Valparaíso on 1th September 1911 (Source : DWD) „4h30 halten auf die Bay zu, nehmen Schlepper an und werfen um 7h Anker auf der Reede von Valparaíso. Ende der Reise. Reisedauer 84 Tage.“ „4h30 heading towards the bay, accepting tug and dropping anchor at 7h in the roads of Valparaíso. End of voyage. Duration of voyage: 84 days.” The return voyage led via Taltal in the north of Chile back around Cape Hoorn to Hamburg, where the "Peking" safely arrived at the end of January 1912. She should make 19 more voyages for the F. Laeisz shipping company, before she was sold to England where she served as a children's home and training school. After her eventful history, at last being a museum ship in New York, the "Peking" returned on the river Elbe in early August 2017. After an extensive restoration she will take her place as part of the future German Port Museum in Hamburg around the year 2020, where she will also remind us on her contribution to meteorology that was made through the extensive records on her voyages. © DWD 2017, Axel Andersson, Birgit Gloeden .

  • 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.
