Cruise ship Sea Cloud

Sea Cloud moored in the port of Split, Croatia, on September 30, 2011
After the ship stayed in port for eight years, Hartmut Paschburg and a group of Hamburg associates purchased her, once again naming her Sea Cloud. Paschburg and thirty-eight other men sailed the ship to Europe, arriving in the Port of Hamburg on November 15, 1978. Sea Cloud spent eight months undergoing repairs in the now-named Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft shipyard, the very yard she was built in. She was redesigned with a sixty-four passenger capacity for a crew of sixty.^[5] The ship set sail on her first cruise in 1979,^[4] and has since been described by the Berlitz Complete Guide to Cruising & Cruise Ships as "the most romantic sailing ship afloat".^[12] In 2011, the Sea Cloud underwent extensive renovations at the MWB-Werft, Bremerhaven.^[13] She is still operating as a cruise ship.^[4]
