Alexander von Humboldt II
The ALEXANDER von HUMBOLDT II is a three-masted barge operated as a civilian sailing training ship under the German flag. Her home port is Bremerhaven. The ALEX-2, as she is affectionately called by her regular crew, is mainly used for the training of suitable and interested persons – especially young people – on large traditional sailing yachts. This is in keeping with the charitable purpose of the German Sailing Training Foundation (DSST), which manages the boat. Behind the green-hulled boat there are many people of different ages who have voluntarily committed themselves to sailing on this sailboat and would like to encourage others to do the same.
