Four-masted barque PEKING - a look at the restored chart house The chart house was on the bridge deck behind the main steering position. At sea, the position and course of the four-masted barque were determined from here with the help of nautical charts and navigation instruments. At the shipyard, the chart house was taken off board in one piece and prepared. The original teak dates from the time of construction and almost all of the planks have been preserved. Even the old brass door handle has survived the years. For those interested, there is also the PEKING calendar 2020. It is a collector's item with photos by Heiner Müller-Elsner, Joachim Kaiser, Jens Marjanczik and Dirk Paßehl. There is also an overview of the calendar images with background information by Joachim Kaiser. You will also find a high-quality reprint of the original construction regulations for the PEKING. The original comes from the archives of the F. Laeisz shipping company and contains handwritten corrections, notes and comments.
