Flying P-liner Peking - film "The Peking is sailing home" and others

[Uwek]

I found a very actual documentation of the sailing home of the Flying P-liner Peking

The film-documentation is 58 minutes long and very interesting.
Unfortunately for a lot of members in the wrong language, it is in german, but also if you do not understand the language
several sequences are without understanding very informative.....and for the german speaking members enjoy the complete film

Yesterday on the 24th June the Peking left the drydock and is swimming

Viermaster "Peking" hat wieder Wasser unterm Kiel

Die Zeit im Trockendock ist für den historischen Segler "Peking" vorbei: Am Montag ist das Schiff mitsamt vier neuen Masten ausgedockt worden und liegt jetzt am Ausrüstungskai.

Take a look at this video, showing the status of the works on the Peking - it is looking like very good quality restoration work

Very good to see the quality or restoration. A great pity that more model shipbuilders do not like to build models of such ships -

I last saw the Peking in South Street Seaport in NY in 1987. It's great that someone has the funding to restore this fine vessel!
