Statsraad Lehmkuhl is a Norwegian three-masted barque built in 1914 at the German Johann C. Tecklenborg shipyard as a school ship. She has been based in Bergen since 1921 and still serves for sail training and adventure voyages.
At 98 metres long and with more than 2,000 m² of sail she is the largest sailing ship in Norway.
Guests sleep below decks in hammocks and stand regular watches alongside the crew, from working aloft on the yards to taking the helm.
