The Passat was one of the famous "Flying P-liners" from the Laeisz ships company. She was build by the
Blohm&Voss shipyard Hamburg in 1911. She was a pure cargoship, faster and more efficient than steamers of that era. She carried nitrat from Chile to Germany or grain between Australia and Europe. In 1952, Passat and the similar Pamir were converted to a freight carring school ships. Pamir sank 1957 in a heavy storm and Passat was recommisioned. She is since 1959 a museums ship in the harbour of Travemünde/Lübeck/Germany. FSDS 3.5 model by Erwin Welker.
