History

[edit]
Sailing as Großherzogin Elisabeth in 1913

The ship was originally owned by Deutscher Schulschiff-Verein of Berlin as a training ship before 1932, before she was sold to a Hamburg-Finkenwerder seamen's school in 1932. Shortly after the war ended, she was relinquished to French authorities as war reparations and renamed Duchesse Anne, being stationed in Lorient and Brest.

During her tenure, she sailed near the Baltic Sea along with the South Atlantic for over three decades under cadet training operations.[2] She was purchased by the Dunkirk city council in 1981; Another association subsequently began renovations upon her several months later. She arrived at her final resting place in late-August 1998, permanently moored at the Harbour Museum in Dunkirk. Upon its centenary in 2001, she officially opened to public visitation. The ship has been classified a historical monument since 5 November 1982.[3]
