Russian four-masted barque Kruzenshtern
Unpainted kit set, 474 parts, 575 mm long
The sail training ship Kruzenshtern is a four-masted barque, named after the famous Russian admiral and explorer Ivan Fyodorovich Krusenstern. Nowadays the barque Kruzenshtern belongs to the "State Baltic Academy of the Fisheries" fleet of Russia and is used for training purposes. However, the history of this vessel goes back to 1925, when, according to the old tradition, the daughter of one of the ship-owners - Eric F. Laeisz, gave her the name 'Padua'. No one could assume what a long and nice destiny is intended to a new sailing vessel. She has entered into ten of the largest sailing vessels of the world and made numerous transoceanic and round-the-world expeditions.
