Description
This image was made when she was docked at in Inner Harbor in Baltimore -
Statsraad Lehmkuhl, a 3-masted barque, was launched in 1914. She is used by the Norwegian Navy as a training vessel, but many cruises and tours are open to the public. However, she is not a passenger vessel. The civilians who come aboard are sailor trainees, participating in all of the activities of the ship and quartering below decks in hammocks, just like sailors of old.
In 2008, she was awarded the Boston Teapot Trophy as the fastest sail training vessel in the world during the period October 1, 2007�September 30, 2008. In November 2007, when Statsraad Lehmkuhl was sailing from Baltimore to Belfast with cadets from the Norwegian Naval Academy, she covered a distance of 1,118 nautical miles within a 124 hour period, averaging 9.02 knots. The longest distance sailed during a 4-hour period was 60 nautical miles, and the highest recorded speed was 18 knots over a short period of time.
