Germania Nova
The new GERMANIA, named GERMANIA NOVA, was designed using identical hull lines as the original as well as the same sail- and deck-plan. The skylights, companionways, and deckhouse are true replicas of the original. Extensive research was undertaken in order to achieve this. A main engine and generators were added, modern navigational and communications equipment were installed with the extra weight involved being compensated with hollow masts and a hull made of high-tensile steel.
The interior was constructed using lightweight materials which nevertheless convey a traditional appearance. Just take a look at the historic photographs displayed throughout the ship and compare them with today’s ship.
GERMANIA NOVA combines modern comfort with the high-performance standards of the original GERMANIA. She is back … and she will rule the waves again!
