About GROSHERZOGINELISABET

Großherzogin Elisabeth is a 1909 German sailing ship built as the San Antonio, a replacement for the 1907 freighter San Antonio which had been lost in a collision at sea. On 25 January 1914, San Antonio ran aground off the coast of Morocco. In 1929 she capsized near Copenhagen, Denmark; however, she was salvageable and was converted into a coastal trading vessel. San Antonio was bought from Skillinge in November 1965 by Werner Sandberg. Her new home port was Hovenäset, Sweden. The skipper was Jan Sandberg. San Antonio operated the Baltic Sea and North Sea freight. She is the world's first motor sailor with a diesel engine. On 8 November 1973 she was acquired by the German shipowner Hartmut Paschburg and was a cruise ship on the Mediterranean for several years, operating with the name Ariadne.
