Ein eindrucksvolles Erlebnis das ich an Bord der MS KOI live miterleben konnte. Gänsehaut pur. Herzlich willkommen "Peking" und vielen Dank für das tolle Video.

I grew up visiting her. She was a very important part of my childhood. I hope restoration goes well and that Hamburg proves to be a better home than New York was. I'm fluent in German and hope to one day join her in Hamburg.

I spent many lunch time hours aboard the PEKING when I worked in New York just down Water Street form the Seaport Museum where she was berthed. These are fond memories for me to have walked the same deck of Irving Johnson. That was in the heyday of the museum in the 1970's when I supported it, my company supported it, as did many others. Events were held on board, etc. Many, many volunteers worked to maintain and improve the ship. I remember seeing her in dry dock at the Moran Towing docks in Staten Island; simply a powerful sight to behold that tremendous hull out of its element. Changes in the management structure over the years through mismanagement and fraud at the museum and lack of funding brought us to the sad loss of the PEKING to New York and to the happy day when she has returned to Germany where she will be cared for with the reverence deserving of this great vessel by a country more geared to the preservation she needs. I salute you PEKING and your new home in Germany.

+Tim Skok - After being stolen from Germany and passing through the loving hands of Gustav Erikson finally PEKING return home to morn the loss of her sisters PASSAT, PAMIR, POMMERN and the greatest of them all - PREUSSEN. Yes, PEKING is home again where it belongs, where it was born, with men who know how to build and manage such a magnificent thing. The USA and particularly the so called seaport did not deserve to possess such a beautiful vessel. Likely mismanagement and fraud caused the lack of funding - Even so, that storage place didn't have the brains or skill to put that ship under sail. The Peking and all other survivors of the scrap yard do not deserve to be tied up at a dock, rusting away, neglected. It is wonderful that someone saved it. You were lucky, Tim. Hold the memories dear.

robert shaw Thank you for your nice words for PEKING, coming home finally to Hamburg/ Germany. But there is one mistake in your words. Okey, her sister PAMIR got tragically lost in an atlantic hurrican with a young crew of see-kadets. Only six, I think, survived the sinking. But her sister PASSAT is going strong, beeing moored in Travemünde/ Germany. urr

@@organbuilder272 she wasn't stolen from you. She was taken as war reparations by Italy after America whipped your ass in the first world War you started that you couldn't finish, remember? Then after the second world War your county started (that again, it couldn't finish) and America, whipped your ass again, with a lot of help from the Russians and British, the ship was SOLD to an American. So, if you want to talk shit about my country, and claim we (stole) some rusted, antiquated, obsolete pile of scrap from your county after y'all started 2 wars in a row, (the second war was supposedly because Germany didn't like the conditions imposed on it due to the thoroughness of the first ass whipping. Well, tough shit) Germany is lucky we didn't sink it for target practice. But we didn't need any because, we had all the practice we needed from sinking all of your navy. So don't run your mouth. It was taken by Italy as war reparations. Perfectly legal. Then, sold a few times, then, the legal owner SOLD it to a new Yorker. Nothing was stolen, except the lives and possessions of a few million jews

@@mikeprimm4077 this is exactly why im glad its back home and restored. im sure the seaport thought she was " some rusted, antiquated, obsolete pile of scrap ". btw might want to read up on your history as Germany 100% did not start WW1. And for a country half the size of Texas, it took 4 years for the world to bring her down lol. and no, USA did not "whoop ass" as you put it. the war was won because of our near limitless ability to replace war machines, and the allies having plenty of fuel.

Fantastisches Video mit klasse Aufnahmen vom Ausdocken und der Sperrwerkspassage!Das war ein tolles Ereignis!Sehr passend auch die Musik!Daumen hoch!Gruss inselvideo!

Tolle Dokumentation dieses historischen Ereignisses. Da waren ja ganz schön viele Leute auf dem Deich dabei, um das miterleben zu können. Daumen hoch für das schöne Video. Gruß Unimedien.

Sehr schön gefilmt. Das Ausdocken ist Klasse. Ich war dort in der Gegend vor vielen Jahren mal. Kann mich aber noch erinnern das man in diesem Bereich extrem schlecht ans Wasser gekommen ist. Auch die Szenen vor dem Sperrwerk und die Passage sind toll. Schön das ihr bei deisem Ereignis dabei gewesen seid. Da war ja doch einiges los obwohl es mitten in der Woche war.

Sehr tolle Aufnahmen der Passage des Sperrwerks und des vorherigen Ausdockens. Super, dass Ihr bei diesem Ereignis auch dabei gewesen seid. Das Video gefällt mir sehr gut. Daumen hoch dafür! :)

I served aboard her when she was the T S Arethusa before she went to the USA, i'm glad she is back in Europe, maybe one day i'll get to go on board her again.

I had a book about the P Liners when I was a kid, which I loved. Although I've only seen pictures of the Peking, I'm so happy and relieved watching her return home after all these years. I don't know what the hell happened to the museum in New York, but I'm certain Hamburg has loved her back to life.

This ship is majestic even without sails. And if you set the sails?

The uTube video “Around Cape Horn (1929)” is a great period film about rounding the Horn as a sailor aboard the Peking. The film of the weather while rounding the Horn is incredible.

Thank you for your comment, I thrilled to that video years ago but just stumbled on this video and was wondering about the history of this ship, so glad it's in good hands and out of NY

One of the most amazing things about her is to me that she never had an engine installed.

Thanks for this. She is a beauty !!

What a beautiful vessel.

Beeindruckend, besonders das Ausdocken.

Gewaltig, dieses Schiff, ich werde extra nach Hamburg fahren, um es zu besichtigen.

Was on her as a boy when she was a training ship her name then was the ARETHUSA. Great that she has gone home after all these years

Ein sehr schönes Boot mit einer sehr interessanten Geschichte. like

We were aboard in 1976 for Tall Ship event. Lived on Big Island Hawai'i. Culture shock!

Wow, schöne Aufnahmen. Ich hätte nicht gedacht dass vom anderen Elbufer so gute Bilder vom Ausschwimmen möglich sind! Vielleicht klappts bei mir terminlich ja zur Ausfahrt der fertigen Peking ;-)

My brother served on this ship when it was a merchant navy training ship in the Medway estuary. At that time it was the "Arethusa"

I’m glad that it is back in Hamburg. I hope they are able to preserve it properly. I admired it when it was in New York and have been to the Moshulu in Philadelphia for dinner a couple of times. Even though it has been altered at least it wasn’t scrapped. I hope that they can save the SS United States somehow too. All these ships are amazing parts of our collective history.

Starkes Video!!! Super, wenn man mit mehreren Personen unterwegs ist...die ersten Aufnahmen vom Ausschwimmen...alles was der Zoom hergibt, aber toll. Kam man dort zum Deich überhaupt gut hin? Die Musik finde ich sehr passend, schön dramatisch. War ja richtig viel los am Störsperrwerk und endlich wieder die deutsche Flagge auf der Peking! Die Amis haben sie auch echt vergammeln lassen...Gruss DrDuu

Love the solitary fender!

Peking , escaping from a sinking New York....

Great to see it's going to be properly restored and preserved!

Watch Captain Irving Johnson's voyage around Cape Horn, he filmed on the deck in 1929.

Ich war auf der Schaarhörn live mit dabei. Sie ist endlich daheim. Soetwas erlebt man nur einmal.

Interesting four poster slab sided steel hull for maximum load capacity but unusually for its day no protection for its helmsmen. This is a ship which could reasonably expect to make passage around the Horn where the helm would need protection though sight of the following sea would be beneficial.

Amazing no ship is more awsome then this and cuttysark.the guy who lived down the road from me shot a vidio going around the horn on her amazing ship

was it towed all the way from NY to Hamburg..??

Met Irving Johnson at Hilo Sailing Club where he narrated his 1929 Cape Hoorn film. A ditty bag with initials I J was hanging in foc'sle of the Peking when we visited in 1976.

My dream is to see the great, great Peking and Moshulu at sea again.

Your dream for PEKING might come true. But Germany remembers PASSAT all too well. Moshulu - it is a rusted wreck, enduring fire and tallichet's efforts at making it into a restaurant. Likely it is no longer seaworthy. Moshulu is the largest sailing vessel afloat. Such a shame that he did not use it for its intended purpose. But he did save it from the cemetery in New York from which PEKING has just been rescued.

Probably not possible, Patmowag. The investment needed would be extreme in the range of £20-30 million to make her seaworthy again to recent SOLAS rules, refit her accommodation, put in an engine, and generally make seaworthy. Much has changed in safety standards since she was built. There maybe no double bottoms in the cargo holds, mandatory now on sea-going vessels out of sight of land, insufficient watertight spaces and bulkheads. The sails and yards on this vessel are also massive and require machinery to work them.

The portholes were added for extra light in the 30's when she became a home for kids and a school in the UK(Shaftesbury homes for children) Also renamed Arethusa II when all this happened.

"Ghost ship"... Well said. American government did nothing to keep this legendary ship in a proper shape as a museum. So, Germans took it back.

I hope they square her away, rather shabby now. Shame.

America's gift to you, Germany. Yes, now you too can have a navy.
