Passat (ship)
Viermastbark Passat
A four-masted sailing ship of the “Flying P-Liners” launched in 1911, which rounded Cape Horn eleven times and now serves as a museum ship.
The Passat was a famous cargo sailing ship of the Hamburg-based Laeisz shipping company, one of the “Flying P-Liners.” Her sister ship, the Pamir, sank in 1957. Since 1960 the Passat has been moored at the Priwall quay in Travemünde. Visitors can board to tour the deck, crew quarters and maritime exhibitions, and experience life aboard one of the last generation of ocean-going sailing ships. Usually open April to October; admission about €6. From Travemünde, take the Priwall ferry across the river and walk to reach it.
