Description
The Kruzenshtern or Krusenstern (Russian:) is a four-masted barque and tall ship that was built in 1926 at Geestemn Bremerhaven, Germany as the Padua (named after the Italian city). She was surrendered to the USSR in 1946 as war reparation and renamed after the early 19th century Baltic German explorer in Russian service, Adam Johann Krusenstern (17701846). She is now a Russian Navy sail training ship.
Of the four remaining Flying P-Liners, the former Padua is the only one still in use, mainly for training purposes, with her home ports in Kaliningrad (formerly Ksberg) and Murmansk. After the Sedov, another former German ship, she is the largest traditional sailing vessel still in operation
