Sail Massachusetts announced today that KRUZENSHTERN, the famous Russian tall ship, will make a port visit to the Massachusetts Maritime academy in Bourne on the Cape Cod Canal on July 3rd. The Academy will host the Class A vessel from July 3-6th. The visit is part of their Sail Massachusetts initiative to invite tall ships to the Commonwealth coastal communities before their arrival in Boston. KRUZENSHTERN is 376-foot in length, four-masted barque rig, and the second largest traditional sail training vessel in the world still in operation. The ship was built in 1927 as PADUA in Bremerhave, Germany, and was given to the USSR in 1946 as war reparation after World War II. She was renamed KRUZENSHTERN after the early 19th century Baltic German explorer in Russian service, Adam Johann Krusenstern (1770-1846). Since 1990 the vessel has been used as a sail training vessel by the Baltic Academy in Kalingrad, Russia and is supported by Tall Ship Friends, a non-profit organization in Hamburg, Germany. The public is invited to tour the ship during her visit to the Buzzards Bay campus. Hours for free public boarding will be on July 4th from 12:00 to 5:00, and July 5th from 09:00 to 5:00. (Hours may be adjusted based up arrival times, interested parties should check the Academy web site at www.maritime.edu) 508-830-5003 - cryan@marirtme.edu |
