213' Three-Masted Barque (1911) - ALEXANDER VON HUMBOLDT II

The ALEXANDER by HUMBOLDT II is a three-masted barque that is operated as a civil sail training ship under the German flag. Home port is Bremerhaven. The ALEX-2, as it is affectionately called by its regular crew, is mainly used for the training of suitable and interested people – especially young people – on traditional tall ships. This corresponds to the charitable foundation purpose of the German Foundation Sail Training (DSST), which operates the ship. Behind the barque with the green hull are many volunteers of different ages who enjoy sailing on this tall ship and want to inspire other people to do the same.
