The Gorch Fock, german Navy training vessel. Named after german writer Gorch Fock, who died at battle of Skagerrak Mai 31 1916, serving on cruiser SMS Wiesbaden. No pic of the Wiesbaden found.

The Amerigo Vespucci, italian Navy training vessel. Named after Amerigo Vespucci, italian sailor and navigator. It´s his fault you live in America. If you do so, of cause.

Santissima Trinidad (Remake) The original Santissima was build in Cuba 1769 and sank at the battle of Trafalgar 1805. She was the biggest battleship of her time. The remake is at Alicante (Spain) and serves as a restaurant.

The russian training vessel Kruzenshtern, named after german-russian Admiral Adam Johann von Krusenstern. Build in 1926 in Bremerhaven named "Padua" she was among the fastest freighters of her time. Hamburg to Chile in 89 days. After WWII handed to Soviet Union. Today she is used for training future fishermen and for regattas. You can book a place as a Trainee and be part of the crew, doing so helping the ship stay in use.

And as the last for now, the american training vessel "Eagle". Build 1933 in Hamburg as german navy training ship Horst Wessel. Thank god after WWII, in 1946 the US claimed the ship and renamed it. Can be found in New London, Connecticut.

tl,dr: Many sails and some tales.

Kruzenshtern/Padua is one of the famous "flying p-liners" and the only one still active. Pommern, Peking, Passat are museum ships. Peking
