- Preussen (Preußen) was a German steel-hulled, five-masted, ship-rigged sailing ship built in 1902 for the F. Laeisz shipping company and named after the German state and kingdom of Prussia. She was the world's only ship of this class with five masts, carrying six square sails on each mast.
Until the 2000 launch of Royal Clipper, a sail cruise liner, she was the only five-masted full-rigged ship ever built.

There are more than a dozen five masted ships listed on Wikipedia. "Wyoming" was an American wooden six-masted schooner built and completed in 1909 by the firm of Percy & Small in Bath, Maine. Why a fully rigged schooner is not considered a fully rigged ship is beyond me!
Downvoted for AI voice.
If you're going to make a video about the Preussen you might at least research how to pronounce the word correctly.
The ship 's name is NOT pronounced Proosen! It is correctly pronounced Proysen
My grandfather sailed over from Germany in a four masted ship like some of these I see. About halfway here a great wave washed him off the ship! But the next wave put him back on the ship! When he came to America he became a minister after that!!
a great story about a great ship. but, after all the research, you could have made an effort to properly pronounce her name.
Sad end to a great ship, the men that sailed these ships were MEN, superb seaman. I have nothing but total respect and admiration for them
True seaman in the old sense of the word, able to read the weather and know when to take in or set more canvas,the masters were for the most part as it says masters of their trade, and as such have my utmost respect
Just want to say, to unload a ship with small cranes and rest by hand of a load that is 1000 tons is a hard work !!! and to do it a 5000 ton carrier is different story, 8000 tons to 10 000 tons load, to unload or load by hand in use of human strength.....NO THANKS VERY MUCH !!!! TH
48 meaning 24 on each watch god on heaven the men managing those sails with so few hands round the horn no less
this is a good channel, have a good day. from my SV in Alaska.
Such a sad story about a beautiful ship.... My father sailed aboard the L'Avenir many years ago, another four masted Barque....
Great Video Thanks!
Great story. I have watched video from sailing ships going around the cape. It is way too awesome. You had to be brave to work on a ship like that going around the horn.
Very well presented history. No nonsense. Thank you
Royal clipper based on this ship. Been on it twice. Awesome.
Great video.
So many great ships die in a tragic way, Preussen was one of them. I have a model of this ship in my living room.
Well shiver me timbers.
The hull can be increased by the cube but the sail is increased by the square. So the diminishing returns kick in.
