Alexander von Humboldt II
Alexander von Humboldt II is a German sailing ship built as a replacement for the ship "Alexander von Humboldt", which had been launched in 1906 and used for sail training since 1988. Constructed by Brenn- und Verformtechnik (BVT) in Bremen, the new ship was launched in 2011. Just like her predecessor, the "Alexander von Humboldt II" is operated by "Deutsche Stiftung Sail Training" in Bremerhaven which offers sail training for people between 14 and 75 years of age.
