During her final years the ship operated as part of the New Zealand merchant fleet. At the end of July 1941 the ship arrived in Wellington, loaded with guano for a NZ client. However, during her voyage from the Seyschelles the Finniish owned Pamir had become an enemy vessel, Finland having joined the enemy in WWII. Having seized the Pamir as a "prize of war" the NZ Government decided the ship should be actively employed. and with with the co-operation of the Union Stream Ship Company, put the ship to work. Under USSCo management, with NZ officers and crew, Pamir sailed for San Francisco at the end of March 1942, completing the Pacific crossing in 58 days to discharge her cargo of wool and tallow. The return voyage took 73 days. her cargo bitumem and petroleum products. The barque was to make five more voyages to San Francisco and three to Vancouver, the last after WWII had ended. She later made an epic, year long, return voyage to London, from October 1947. In London arrangements were made to return the Pamir to her Finnish owners. This took place in Wellington in October 1949 and she sailed for South Australia flying the Finnish flag. In the early 1950s, now German owned, the Pamir was converted to operate as a trading/training ship, with accommodation for more that 50 cadets in addition to a full working crew. On June 1, 1957 she left Hamburg for South America in ballast with a complement of 86, 52 being cadets. At Buenos Aires she loaded almost 4000 tons of barley sailing for Hamburg on August 10. On September 21 Pamir encountered hurricane conditions in mid-Atlantic, capsized and sank.There were only.six survivors. The Pamir made her first trading voyage in 1905. Author Jack Chrurchouse has recorded the ship's NZ years in a masterful way, covering each of her trans-Pacific voyages in detail with. crew lists provided for each voyage. Other chapters deal briefly with the Pamir's early history, events leading to her seizure and the ship's later career and fate.The excellent narrative is enhanced, by a wonderful collection of illustrations. These ara largely b/w photos spread throughout the text, there is also a 16 page colour selection of several paintings of the ship, photos and document reproductions/maps. Also is a double page sail/rigging profile, three deck plans, hull form, hold and accommodation diagrams and deck plan as modified as a trading/trading ship. Colour toned end-papers show the ships's sail plan.These images combine vividly portray the power, grace and glory of the last of the line of these magnificent ships.

The Pamir, a four-masted barque flying the Finnish flag, sailed into New Zealand waters at a time, during the Second World War, when her country was entering enemy status. Taken in prize, she became a puzzle and a challenge to a country at war whose lifelines stretched across vast oceans; shipping space was urgently needed but a windjammer? Sail was anachronism. This is the story of how the New Zealand Government, in partnership with one of its historic shipping lines, the Union Steam Ship Company, commissioned and sailed the sturdy vessel between Wellington and North American ports until after the war. Voyages are reconstructed in detail, often using extracts from diaries, letters and masters' reports of the time. May require extra shipping costs internationally., Books<
