Gorch Fock (1958)

The Gorch Fock is a tall ship of the German Navy (Bundesmarine). She is the second ship of that name and a sister ship of that earlier Gorch Fock. Both ships are named in honor of the German writer Johann Kinau who wrote under the pseudonym "Gorch Fock". The modern-day Gorch Fock was built in 1958 and has since then undertaken more than 100 cruises, including one tour around the world in 1988. She is sometimes referred to (unofficially) as the Gorch Fock II to distinguish her from her older sister ship.
