I'm not skilled enough to draw sailboats, so this one is for that peson that has that type of skills to draw large sailing ships!

From: http://visualnorway.blogspot.com/2008/1 ... mkuhl.html

"Statsraad Lehmkuhl"



For one who was born and raised in the city of Bergen, Norway, the most natural choice for the letter "S" must be the Sailing vessel "Statsraad Lehmkuhl". Few things are more dear to us and few things symbolizes the city more than this ship. Anyone in doubt can look at my header.

The Statsraad Lehmkuhl is a three-masted barque rigged sail training vessel owned and operated by the Statsraad Lehmkuhl Foundation. She is based in Bergen, Norway and contracted out for various purposes, including serving as a school ship for the Royal Norwegian Navy (using RNoN's prefix "KNM", English: "HNoMS"). She was built in 1914 as a school training ship for the German merchant marine under the name «Grossherzog Friedrich August». After the First World War the ship was taken as a prize by Great Britain and in 1921 the ship was bought by former cabinet minister Kristoffer Lehmkuhl. (Hence the name, which means 'Cabinet Minister Lehmkuhl') With the exception of the Second World War, the ship has belonged to Bergens Skoleskib until she was donated to the aforementioned foundation in 1978 (from Wikipedia).

The shipowner Hilmar Reksten bought the ship himself and donated her to the foundation to prevent her from being sold to foreign interests.

The drawing below is from an old poster I once bought.



Norway has three large training sailig vessels, and this is the largest by far. Her dimensions is large, even by world standards. She has the following specifications:

Sparred Length: 98,00 m
L.o.a. (Length of hull): 84,60 m
L.b.p. (Length of waterline): 73,00 m
Width: 12,60 m
Max. Height: 48,00 m
Max. Draft: 5,20 m
Gross tonnage: 1516 t
Sails: 22
Sail area: 2026 m2
Speed: 11 knots (machine) / 17 knots (sails)

Of course we need some more pictures of the ship:



Here she is moored in Bergen Harbour ("Vågen"), close by the old fortress "Bergenhus".

Here she is leading the convoy of ships leaving Bergen at the end of their stay at this year's Tall Ship's Races.

The small boat is a: Norsafe Midget 500 MKI

It's a very elegant sail ship!

if I recall correctly, I have been on board of this ship some time ago. well, I am sure that I have seen her in reality, that's for certain. I might take a chance on her in the future, but I'm a little busy now, and there are some other sailing ships on my to do list right now, so I won't add her to my worklist. anybody who is before me to start drawing it, just do it

btw, heuhen, sailing ships aren't that difficult... as long as you have good refs and as long as you have a lot of free time.... look at the batavia for example: it took me months to finish it, but I think it looks great.... and it is only the 4th sailing ship I draw, (the others being an modern yacht, an AU ship and an naval yacht) , so just from trying you can learn a lot.
