Took this last year in Philly.

Tall Ships Philadelphia - Sagres - The Sagres was built in 1937 in
shipyard of
Blohm & Voss in Hamburg and named the Albert Leo Schlageter. She was the
3rd of
four ships built by the German Navy including the Horst Vessel (now the US
Coast Guard ship, Eagle). and the Gorch Fock (now the Tovarishch of
Ukraine).
During World War II she was taken to Bremerhaven shipyard after damage
from a
mine and captured by the U.S. forces in 1945. The ship was given to Brazil
in
1948 and sailed in as a training ship in the Brazilian Navy under the name
Guanabara. In 1962 she was purchased by Portugal purchased to replace the
old
sail training ship Sagres and is often referred to as the Sagres II.

I remember seeing her in Boston many years ago. A nice looking ship and nice
to see her again, thanks for posting.
