Wow that's great, my heart sunk when I heard she was leaving for the last time. I thought they were going to scrap her. Then my wife and I had a rush of happiness when we read she was being towed home to be restored. Thanks for sharing this nice little video. Best Wishes n Blessings Keith
How great it is to see the Peking going back home for restoration in Hamburg.I was an Arethusa boy(no195) in 1958/59 and the time spent training on her determined my life.Great experience!! It would have been sad to have seen her end up at a scrapyard.Hope she makes the transit in one piece.Olav(Nick) Sivertsen.CPO boy,195,Q,deck Stb.
I went to see the Peking in South Street Seaport Museum, New York in 2008. I wasn't allowed aboard for health and safety reasons (it was raining!). I too was an 'Arry' boy (No.9) from 1970-1973. Great to see her in such fantastic condition back in Germany. I might take a trip across to Hamburg to see the old girl.
Bye, it is a part of some of my most precious memories and it feels like it’s leaving with them too. I was sad to hear it was leaving during a tour inside it.
Hey Stevy, the completely restored Peking will arrive in Hamburg on September 7th. In a perfect condition.If you ever come to Hamburg you must visit the Peking. ruclips.net/video/NZORlkvr35w/видео.html
Its a shame for New York to lose this fine ship, and a shame they couldn't to the restoration in all the years they had her but the Germans will do a fantastic job, and do it right!
The condition of the ship at the time of this video is absolutely disgraceful. My guess is that she was not seaworthy, structurally speaking. New York has no excuse whatever.
Price was $1 They couldn't keep her Thats why she got a full overhaul in Hamburg. Still wont sail (maybe it could, but wont be sailed), but much better condition
retag And am delighted to ready what you wrote. The Lady deserves respect. New York ought to be ashamed. Sail her? There are only a handful of sailors competent enough to even try.
@@normanbraslow7902 oh you could probably find a crew. German navy just completely rebuilt (for way to much money) their training-sailship gorch fock (same class as the current "eagle" sailing in the same role for the us navy) so the supply of former soldiers with sailing skills wont stop. And other countries are sailing large ships as well, some sailing cruiseships are around and of course the many smaller ones that are good for training of anyone but the captain and officers who obviously need some experience on the big one. I watched a bit of german video yesterday and at least the rigging is returned to its delivery state and ready for sailing, and the rest overhauled as well (but that part i havent watched the in depth explanation yet, so no idea if its fully oceanworthy)
retag One small correction, the Eagle is a Coast Guard training ship, not US Navy. The training is only for a short time, and competent training in sail takes many years. That's one reason the French Navy despite good ships lost to the British regularly. No, those crews from training ships could not handle the Peking. There are a small group of senior sailors that guide the trainees, and they could do it, but there are very few of them. As for commanding Peking, some of the square rigger captains could, but only a few. Besides, she's likely not in material condition to sail. Too bad, would be lovely.
Why "for the last time"? Isn't she going to come back to South Street Seaport? Weird... The "famous" tragedy of her sister ship Pamir on September 21, 1957 keeps the fame of all remaining P-flying liners still alive. Passat, Pommern, Kruzenstern/Padua and Peking...
hello, no she is not returning, as a museum ship,it is not vere well taken care of, so fine is going back to its homeland, there the understand to take care of the ols windjammers,,
Love the flying P-liners
The Peking looks in 2020 like new! ❤️

The RUclips video featuring the Peking is absolutely amazing - ' Four masted Barque Rounding Cape Horn 1929 Captain Irving'
Thank you Hamburg!

We´ll try and take good care of her.
Greetings from Hamburg
I am looking forward to visiting her in Hamburg once she is restored. She is a grand ship, indeed.
Thank you New York, thank you, for saving this ship. I can´t wait to see her in my hometown.......
And Rick..... wonderful video.
Bernd Borchers, New York should be throughly ashamed for letting her deteriorate that badly.
Now she is Home ❤️
Hi BB, thank you for saving this..... the have not saved, it is in a very poor condition, so I like that it is given away to its hometown.
Bye, it is a part of some of my most precious memories and it feels like it’s leaving with them too. I was sad to hear it was leaving during a tour inside it.

The most beautiful object ever conceived by the mind of man!
Roling home, rolling home

Rolling home, mien Deern to di!
"Windjammer Peking Leaves the South Street Seaport for the Last Time". Maybe not the last time. Perhaps sh e will return for a visit some day!
Thats not possible, but you can visit the Peking in Hamburg in a perfect condition, as good as new. ruclips.net/video/NZORlkvr35w/видео.html
Такой барк нужно восстанавливать,быть музеем такому красавцу нельзя. Пусть летает над волнами на крыльях-парусах!
For all who are interested in her actual restauration watch here peking-freunde.de/

Come home, old girl, where F. Laeisz ordered you and where you haven't been for 85 years now.

So true, it will be a loss for NY when she is restored to her former glory. I will go to NY the day she returns for a visit.
