English: Gorch Fock (1933) , painting of her early days at sea by the swedish artist Gunnar Larsson (1907-1982).)
English: Gorch Fock is the name of two German sailing tall ships, three-mast barques, painted in white. Both ships are named in honor of the German writer Johann Kinau who wrote under the pseudonym "Gorch Fock" and got killed at sea in the Battle of Jutland.
The first, originally built as a school ship for the German Reichsmarine in 1933, was handed over to the USSR after World War II and renamed "Tovarishch". After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, she sailed under the Ukrainian flag from 1992 to 1993. In 1995, she was transferred to Newcastle-upon-Tyne for repairs which, however, somehow never even began. In 1999, she was moved to Wilhelmshaven and finally acquired by private sponsors and transferred to her original home port Stralsund, Germany, where she was re-baptized Gorch Fock on November 29, 2003. She is a museum ship today, and although efforts are being made to reactivate her, it is doubtful whether she will ever sail again. Oilpainting on canvas by Gunnar Larsson, borne September 29th 1907 in Varberg, Sweden; dead in 1982. |
