What Crew Members Say About Alex-Von-Humboldt-2

On September 16, 2012, a notable maritime incident occurred in Travemuende when the illustrious tall ship 'Alexander von Humboldt II' found itself in a collision with a yacht at around 3 p.m. The yacht, which had suffered a significant engine failure, drifted uncontrollably as the skipper attempted to avert disaster through a sailing maneuver, but ultimately failed. Despite 'Alexander von Humboldt II' making efforts to evade the yacht, the situation escalated when a steel cable from the yacht became entangled in the tall ship's jib boom, resulting in the unfortunate breaking of the yacht's mast. Fortunately, the incident did not result in any injuries, and the damaged vessel later made its way to a repair yard.
