The Christian Radich is a steel school ship with a full-ship package, which was named after the Norwegian cavalry officer, entrepreneur and shipowner Christian Radich (August 15, 1822-29 June 1898).

In 1889 Christian Radich donated 90,000 crowns to a foundation for the construction of a sailing school ship on the condition that it was named after him. As early as 1916, the purchase of a full ship ( Transatlantic ex Mersey , 1,847 gross register tonnes (BRT), for 410,000 crowns) and its use as a freight -bearing sailing school ship with renaming to Christian Radich to be met the wish. However, the company could not be realized because the ship was ordered to Kristiania (Oslo again since 1924) due to the enormously increased ship prices and was sold a year later (for 800,000 crowns). Another 20 years should go before Christian Radich’s wish could be realized. In 1937 the Christian Radich Almost 40 years after the death of her namesake.

In 1877 the “Committee for the purchase of a ship as a school ship for boys intended for sailors” (“Commite for Innkjøp af Skib Til Skoleskib for Gutter Til Sømend”) was founded (today: “Det Stiftelsen Christian Radich”), which First the English Bark Lady Grey bought and in Christiana renamed to train seafarers since 1881. In 1901 she was given by the school ship-Brigg, bought by the Navy Statsraad Erichsen replaced, the successor of which in 1937 Christian Radich started.

Her first exit led her to Halden (then Frederikshald near the Swedish border), to the Orkney Islands and after Leith, Scotland, then back to the Baltic Sea. In 1939 she went under Captain Alf Bryde for her first transatlantic trip to New York. In 1940 the ship was confiscated by Germany and used as a deposit ship for submarine teams. During a bomb attack on Flensburg in 1945, the ship sank after hits in the harbor. After the Second World War, it was raised, checked to Sandefjord and re -ruined as a school ship for £ 70,000 – scrapping would have been more expensive.

In 1957, the ship in the Cinemiracle Panorama film “Windjammer” worked with and in the 1970s in the television series “The Onedin Line”. During the film recordings for “Windjammer”, the Christian Radich also the Pamir that went down in a storm shortly after the recordings. It is the last film recordings of the Pamir .

Further, larger overhaul took place in 1980–1983 on their building in Sandefjord and 2001–2002 on the “Drammen skips reparrear”, Drammen, Norway. The ship took and took part in various large-scale meetings and was several winners in the Tall Ships ’Races. Since 1999, the ship has no longer been a school ship, but on the charter ride and undertakes tours for paying guests. The foundation also has a new sailing ship school form for the Christian Radich Building: In the summer months, teams from up to 80 self -paying students can take part in travel of a few days.

The Christian Radich is also a regular guest at Sail in Bremerhaven.
