Rickmer Clasen Rickmers, (1807–1886) was a Bremerhaven shipbuilder and Willi Rickmer Rickmers, (1873–1965) lead a Soviet-German expedition to the Pamirs in 1928.

The "Rickmer Rickmers" was built in 1896 by the Rickmers shipyard in Bremerhaven, and was first used on the Hong Kong route carrying rice and bamboo. In 1912 she was bought by Carl Christian Krabbenhöft, renamed Max, and transferred to the Hamburg - Chile route. She sailed under different names/owners after that. She was purchased in 1983 by an organisation named "Windjammer für Hamburg e.V.", renamed for the last time, back to Rickmer Rickmers, and turned into a floating museum ship.

I can see all the cranes used by the ship builder in the background Raj. What a wonderful array of lines there are in this post. I find them fascinating. Great shot of the antique ship and the information is good as well.
A good post.
