Statsraad Lehmkuhl is one of the world's largest and oldest square-riggers still sailing. She was built as a training ship for the German merchant feet over a hundred years ago, but today she is in better condition than ever. Statsraad Lehmkuhl has sailed under the Norwegian flag and has been an icon in the port of Bergen since 1923.

A floating university
On its very first circumnavigation, Statsraad Lehmkuhl serves as both a floating university and a sail training vessel combined, bringing students, scientists, voyage crew and professionals together on different legs.
The ship has been converted into a state-of- the-art research vessel, collecting comparable high-quality data continuously throughout the journey. Equipped with modern instrumentation, it measures levels of CO₂, micro-plastic, ocean acidification, biodiversity and ocean temperature.
