Duchesse Anne (formerly called Großherzogin Elisabeth) is the last remaining full-rigged ship under French flag. She was built in 1901 with a steel hull by the yard of Joh. C. Tecklenborg of Bremerhaven-Geestemünde (Germany) according to plans drawn by Georg W. Claussen. The mainmast is 48 m tall and 25 sails were rigged.^[1] She was used as a training ship for young aspiring sailors in the German merchant marine.

Sailing as Großherzogin Elisabeth in 1913

The ship was handed over to France as war reparations after World War II and renamed Duchesse Anne. The ship has been classified a historical monument since 5 November 1982.

Several other training windjammers of the German "Deutscher Schulschiff-Verein" also survive to this day:

Dar Pomorza (originally Prinzess Eitel Friedrich)
Schulschiff Deutschland
Statsraad Lehmkuhl (originally Großherzog Friedrich August)
