  • Preussen (Preußen) was a German steel-hulled, five-masted, ship-rigged sailing ship built in 1902 for the F. Laeisz shipping company and named after the German state and kingdom of Prussia. She was the world's only ship of this class with five masts, carrying six square sails on each mast.
    Until the 2000 launch of Royal Clipper, a sail cruise liner, she was the only five-masted full-rigged ship ever built.

    Royal clipper based on this ship. Been on it twice. Awesome.

      There is a sister ship to the Royal Clipper that was finished 3 years ago and was just docked due to legal issues of ownership. I believe it will commence sailing this year with a larger crew and passenger capacity Overall length is around 50 feet more than the Royal but the design is identical. I spent 2 weeks on the Royal last year from Venice yo the Riviera and loved it.

    Great story. I have watched video from sailing ships going around the cape. It is way too awesome. You had to be brave to work on a ship like that going around the horn.

    The hull can be increased by the cube but the sail is increased by the square. So the diminishing returns kick in.

      It's not truly exact in Naval Architecture because nobody increases all the dimensions by the same factor. For a displacement boat the most important factor is the length as it's the first limiting element of speed, second it's the width of the hull, third the depth plus the hull lines. If you have enough righting torque the best if you want a good speed is to have a long slim hull with sweet lines (less drag) and you'll need less surface sail by ton to achieve the desired speed, another advantage you get better mean speeds.
      You add the factors limiting the size of the masts. So the law cube/square does not apply directly. Furthermore, the same law plus the laws of mechanical inertia permits lighter hulls while having a larger volume.
      After that, the design depends of the speed you need. A tea ship making China or India to England was a racer able of 18 knots like the Cutty Sark. A bulk carrier of guano or any bulk merchandise between Chile and Europe by the Horn did not need so high speed, but had to be seaworthy and "easy" to tune specially sails by a small crew, although these boats often got excellent mean speeds..

    Not quite true- the SV ROYAL CLIPPER, launched in 2000, is a sailing cruise ship based in the PREUSSEN, and is also a five- masted full-rigged ship.

    There are more than a dozen five masted ships listed on Wikipedia. "Wyoming" was an American wooden six-masted schooner built and completed in 1909 by the firm of Percy & Small in Bath, Maine. Why a fully rigged schooner is not considered a fully rigged ship is beyond me!

    • @uasupply
      @uasupply  5 วันที่ผ่านมา +13

      I think, they are just in different categories. And full-rigged ship is usually considered square-rigged on all of masts. Just compare the sail area of Preussen of 6,806 m2 to Wyoming's 3,700 m².

      For cars, a coupe is not a sedan, and neither is a wagon. It’s a uniform naming convention to distinguish, by name, the type of sail layout and rigging of a ship. A sloop, is not a ketch, which is not a yawl. A Brig is not a Barquentine, which is not a Barque, which is not a fully rigged ship, which is not a schooner. Sometimes the number of masts matter i the naming conventions, sometimes not. Welcome to the world of sailing and ships!

      @@stogierob What carries the type name has changed over the centuries. USS Constitution is a frigate and so was USS Brumby FF-1044 (my old ship) but they share nothing in common.

      @@steven4315 the USS Constitution is a three masted, fully rigged ship. Her warship classification as a frigate meant that she was smaller than a fifth rate ship of the line, but larger than a sloop of war. In decades prior, a frigate would have been called a sixth rate. Frigates of the time were single gundeck ships. The Constitution was one of the largest at 44 24-pound cannon. The smallest frigates could have between 22-26 12-pound cannon.
      Size and armament had more to do with the military classification of a ship. There were several different sail plans and ship designs that could all be grouped into a military classification.
      The Constitution and your frigate likely served in similar roles within the fleets of their respective times.
