        Its sister ship was given to the USSR as war reparation and they let it rot for a while, later converted it to carry timber and then it caught fire

    Here’s an archive of Wikipedia’s cited source for the story.

    I kind of feel like a US ship is a bit biased towards ships named after the country/continent’s own namesake, but it is impressive. It was launched in 1931, but it’s modelled after ships of the line from the late 1700s.

      Following a not wholly dissimilar idea, there is also German training ship Gorch Fock.

        Thing is, the Amerigo is huge, you wouldn’t tell from the pictures, it’s got over 2 times the displacement of the Gorch Fock
