S/V "Maria Rickmers". The shortest lifespan of the largest five-masted sailing ship of her time.

These history "tidbits" are excellent, thanks from Alaska

I have never before seen any vessel with such an immensely vast sail area!
There wasn't any rigging area wasted where another sail could be fitted!

All five masts sailing ships perished tragically. Rickmers, Potosi, Preussen, France II and København....
