Source : Wikipédia The Peking is a steel-hulled four-masted barque — the sister ship to the Passat. A so-called Flying P-Liner of the German company F. Laeisz, it was one of the last generation of windjammers used in the nitrate trade and wheat trade around the often treacherous Cape Horn. HISTORY : Eking out meager existence on routes difficult to serve by steam ships that required vast amounts of coal, these tall ships and the sailors sailing them were the last of their breed. Sailed in the traditional way with few labor saving devices or safety features, her sailors worked four hours on and four hours off 24 hours a day for the entire length of the voyage, sometime for more than a hundred days in a row. Made famous by the sail training pioneer Irving Johnson, his footage filmed on board during a passage around Cape Horn in 1929 shocked experienced Cape Horn veterans and landsmen alike at the extreme conditions Peking experienced. She was in Valparaiso at the outbreak of World War I, and was awarded to Italy as war reparations. She was sold back to the original owners, the Laeisz brothers in 1923, and continued in the nitrate trade until traffic through the Panama Canal proved quicker and more economical. In 1932, she was sold for £6,250 to Shaftesbury Homes. She was first towed to Greenhithe, renamed Arethusa II and moored alongside the existing Arethusa I. In July 1933, she was moved to her new permanent mooring off Upnor on the River Medway,where she worked as a children's home and training school. She was officially "opened" by HRH Prince George on 25 July 1933. During World War II she served in the Royal Navy as HMS Pekin. She was retired in 1975 and sold to Jack Aron, for the South Street Seaport Museum in New York City, where she is still moored. Le Peking est l’un des Flying P-Liner, voiliers de la compagnie de transport maritime allemande F. Laeisz. Aujourd'hui, le Peking est à quai au South Street Seaport de New York en tant que musée maritime au South Street Seaport Museum de New-York. HISTOIRE : Ce quatre-mâts barque construit à Hambourg dans les chantiers Blohm & Voss, fut lancé en 1911. Ce fut d'abord un cargo servant au transport des nitrates et de céréales entre l'Europe et le Chili. Basé à Valparaiso au déclenchement de la Première Guerre mondiale, le Peking a été attribué à l'Italie au titre de dommages de guerre. Il est revendu, en 1923, à ses premiers propriétaires et reprend son service de cargo jusqu'à l'ouverture du Canal de Panama. En 1932, il est revendu et prend le nom de Arethusa II. En 1933, il devient voilier école au service de l'Angleterre en étant lancé officiellement par SAR le Prince George. Au cours de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, il sert dans la Royal Navy sous le nom de HMS Pekin. Il prend enfin sa retraite en 1975 et vendu à Jack Aron, pour le South Street Seaport Museum de New-York aux États-Unis, où il est encore amarré comme bateau musée.
