The Alexander von Humbolt is also known as the Becks ship. This is because one of its main operators is the German brewery Becks that uses the ship as a sailing advert, thanks to its unique green sails.

About This Category
Tall ships (ie largely wooden boats with sails and rigging!) and associated material. This collection exists largely thanks to Bruno (BG), since I remain unable to tell a sloop from a tug.
See also Recreation.
You might like to visit: Pablo Avanzini's Tall Ships Blog, Gauthier Marines of St Malo, Max's web site (professional tall ship photography), and Traditional Boats and Tall Ships magazine.
Bruno also recommends some links for people who want to go sailing:
(AKA "vieux gréements" or "grands voiliers" in French, and "tallship" or "tallships" in English.)
