| 05629 Sailing Ship PAMIR
The four-masted bark
Pamir was built in 1905 for the F. Laeisz Hamburg shipyard and was one
of the Flying P liners famed for their speed and reliability. According
to tradition, she had a name beginning with "P". The Pamir won the
Grain Race of 1932 and in 1949 rounded Cape Horn as the last great
cargo-carrying sailing ship without engines. In 1950s the Pamir, like
the Passat, was used as a cargo-carrying sail-training vessel for the
German merchant navy. The Pamir sank in a hurricane on 21st September
1957 during her return voyage from Buenos Aires bound for Hamburg. 80
of the crew of 86 lost their lives. This shipwreck received a great
deal of attention in the international media and brought to an end the
life of cargo-carrying sail-training ships. This model has a two-part
hull and a detailed deck with planking. Numerous details, such as the
ships bell, six life boats and 34 textured sails are included. It also
contains yarn for rigging. In addition to the extensive flag table
there are ready-made shrouds.
