Sailing Vessels

The most impressive of the sailing-ships to be built were the five masted vessels. Only  seven  were  ever  constructed, four  were  German,  two French  and  one  Danish. They all  proved to be lucrative  vessels but  were just to large. The huge Prussen  was the  only  five  masted  full-rigger ever built,  she  belonged  to the Flying P. Line of Hamburg, which operated  a fleet of sailing-vessels that carried regular shipments of saltpetre from Chile to Europe
