Anyone have any news on the sail traing ship Tovarisch? is she/will she
ever go back into service?,

regards, Terry


P.S looking for photos or anything else on the Bordes owned four masted
barque L'Loire broken up 1926 or thereabouts, not much in Villiers 'The
Bounty Ships of France'.

I heard some roumors that the Tovarishtsh will come back under German flag
again,
because Ukraine has no money left to run the ship longer in its service ...
I said "back",
because the ship was the Gorch Fock I before WW2, and was taken and renamed
by the USSR
after WW2; and she looks very much alike the Gorch Fock (II) ... anyway, a
very beautiful vessel
that really deserves to be maintained for future generations.

P.S.: use Google.de for searching for photos or any other info
