Back home after more than 100 years

The "Anny von Hamburg" is a three-masted gaff-rigged schooner, launched in 1914 as hull number 135 by C. Lühring in Brake-Kirchhammelwarden. The 38-meter-long sailing vessel was moored in Leer for eight years. The ship has now been towed to Elsfleth. Timbercoast GmbH has taken over management of the "Anny," and the owner is Hans-Georg Näder. The Elsfleth shipyard will now examine the sailing vessel closely and then make a further decision. From 1925 to 1957, the schooner sailed the North and Baltic Seas under various names. The three-masted vessel was restored in 1981 and 1999. From 2010, the "Anny" was permanently berthed in Leer.
