No, actually the last owner of most of these was Gustav Erikson, who was from Mariehamn in the Aland Islands, although part of Finland they are ethnically Swedish. I have visited three times. There is the most fantastic museum containing much from Erikson's fleet, and also Pommern is preserved, in the water, right by the museum. The first time I visited in 1962, my father and I were able to go through the drawers in the chartroom which still had the charts, with the navigation marks on them from rounding the Horn. Needless to say on my last visit (about 5 years ago) this was no longer possible. She is virtually unaltered from her cargo carrying days.

Well worth the visit.
Other is Passat - standing in Lubeck (on Travemünde).
And the most interesting - for me at least - is Padua, still sailing, as Крузенштерн.
