SV "Pamir". The Last Cape Horner and Germany's National Tragedy.

No blurring and no ads: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1q8Xl... Pamir was the last commercial sailing ship to round Cape Horn, in 1949. By 1957, she, one of the, famous Flying P-Liners, a four-masted barque built for the German shipping company F. Laeisz, had been outmoded by modern bulk carriers and could not operate at a profit. Her shipping consortium's inability to finance much-needed repairs or to recruit sufficient sail-trained officers caused severe technical difficulties. On 21 September 1957, she was caught in Hurricane Carrie and sank off the Azores, with only six survivors rescued after an extensive search. #history #sailing #sailingship #steam #story #sailingboat #maritime #maritimemystery #ship 🍩☕To donate and support the channel: Patreon:   / membership   Paypal : [email protected] ✅store: https://www.uasupply.in.ua ⚓https://www.uasupply.com.ua ⚓https://t.me/uasupplyltd ⚓  / uasupply   ⚓  / uasupplyltd   🎬Credit: 🎶Music by: Audio library
