    Built in Germany at the beginning of the century and used as a German coast guard ship (and training) until the 70s . . . a stunning looking ship.

    The Gorch Fock is still in service as part of the Tall Ships group in the German Navy

    The Gorch Fock is one of 5 sister ships. This one was seized by the US as war reparations after WWII.
    The other 3 ships (actually Barks (or Barques if you are not Merkin)) are school ships for Portugal, Russia and Romania.

    Yeah, thanks for that clarifcation.

    Was more interested to know what they do with it. And if training, why do they need to train on a sail boat in the 21st century?

    That’s ambitious! I think the current largest hotel is in Malaysia in the Genting Highlands at 7,752 rooms and is an empty cavernous mess!












    ETA I didn’t google that number so take no responsibility for accuracy

    Cheers. I was only out 5%


    I didn’t calculate that number, just a rough guesstimate.

    I'm a bit doubtful about that but if they can make the engine below with post-it notes and tea leaves then I guess an origami samurai is possible.

    I was a sceptic. A full time lapse video would be more convincing though.

    Very impressive.

    It led me to this video and now my kids are running around launching these badboys all over the place.

    Cool pic - annoying wordage. They start by saying "It is not a fossil", then end by saying its the "best preserved fossil".
