Model of sailing vessel "Krusenstern"

This four masted bark was constructed in 1926 in a shipyard in Weser-Munde (Germany) and was initially named "Padua".

The Soviet Union aquired the vessel and in January 1946 it was subsequently renamed in honour of an outstanding Russian seafarer and researcher: I.F.Krusenstern. It is used as a research vessel and has the capacity to travel very long distances and spend long periods of time at sea. As such the Krusenstern has made some round the world expeditions.

Between 2002-2005 the vessel was completely reconstructed with additional research equipment being installed.

This model was constructed in 2005 under the order of the Museum of the World Ocean in Kaliningrad. It was built by master model ship builder Alexei Baranov using Pear. Other components are made from steel, brass, copper, silver and plastic.
