We were aboard her in 1976. In the foc's'le was hanging a ditty bag with initials I J. Only a few knew that was Irving Johnson who filmed 1929 Peking AROUND CAPE HORN. Capt Johnson and Yankee
I was on the TS Arethusa for the last 3 years of my uk schooling, and after i started my Merchant Navy Career on the P&O Canberra as a deck apprentice crueing the Carribbean.. i flew out of London to Nassau to join her. My father dird in 1966 of Cancer when i was 14 yo, the next 3 years i spent learning and oreparing mysekf for a career at sea like my father .. i know he woukd have been very proud of me. Next time i come to Hamburg ill vist my firmer home from home in the UK at Upnor on the Medway. Its truly winderful to see she was renovated to her firmer Tea clipper days. See you all soon.

Moin. Es ist grandios dass die Peking wieder in ihrer Heimat ist, und dazu noch so wunderbar restauriert! Es war eine wahre Meisterleistung deutscher Schiffsbaukunst und Erfahrung von nöten gewesen. In New York wäre Sie auf Dauer abgewrackt worden, und an dieser Stelle muss auch mal gesagt werden dass man den Yorkern danken muss dass es nicht soweit gekommen ist! Und für 100 Dollar als Symbolwert ist es noch besser gewesen, damit mehr Geld für die Sanierung über ist. Allzeit eine Handbreit, Allzeit fliegende P-Liner. Danke
We met Capt Johnson at Hilo Sailing Club when he personally narrated his film. I grew up watching National Geographic TV programs about his Yankee round the world adventures. Living in Hawai'i I met two of his college age crew from the 50s. We have been Around The Horn twice...on cruise ships.
