Peking (ship)
Peking is a four masted barque built for the Flying P-Line, the identical sister ship to the Passat, and was one of the last generation of windjammers used in the nitrate and grain trade around the often treacherous Cape Horn (photograph of the Peking under full sail taken before 1914 in the estuary of the Elbe river).
