🔊 Listen to this Post Großherzogin Elisabeth is a 1909 German
sailing ship built as the
San Antonio , a replacement for the 1907 freighter
San Antonio which had been lost in a collision at sea.
On 25 January 1914, San Antonio ran aground off the coast of Morocco . In 1929 she capsized near Copenhagen , Denmark; however, she was salvageable and was converted into a coastal trading vessel .

After several Dutch owners, she was acquired by the German shipowner Hartmut Paschburg in 1973 and was a
cruise ship on the
Mediterranean Sea for several years, operating with the name
Ariadne .
In 1982, the ship was sold to the
District of Wesermarsch and the sail training club
Schulschiffverein “Großherzogin Elisabeth” e. V. was founded. Since 1993, the club has been owner of the ship. Today,
Großherzogin Elisabeth is primarily used for sail training and is based at the
Jade University of Applied Sciences in
Elsfleth .
