Greetings, not to play one upmanship, but the Laeisz Shipping Company of Hamburg illustrated the quality of their ships and crews. Example: Robert Hilgendorf born 1852 He sailed sixty six times around Cape Horn. 1881 he was master of PARNASS, PARSIFAL, PROFESSOR, PIRAT, PERGAMON, PALMYRA, PLACILLA, PITLOCHRY, POTOSI. Max Heinrich Jurgen Jurs also listed as 66 times, after the war he was master of PRIWALL, PINNAS, PASSAT, PEKING I was on the PEKING/ARETHUSA school ship that no longer went to sea. Should you be interested there is a video film of the PEKING going round Cape Horn, from South Street Museum, New York.
