South American Visitor, Notice to Admirers of Noble Seafarers: Your Presence Requested
The Argentine Navy's sailing school ship, the "Libertad," is set to make a visit to Hamburg, Germany, in late August 2025. Although the exact dates for the Hamburg visit are yet to be confirmed, it is expected that the ship will moor at the Overseas Bridge around 1 pm on one of the days between August 5th and 7th.
The "Libertad," a symbol of Argentine pride, will be open to the public during these days, from 1 pm to 5 pm. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore the ship and learn about the 49 cadets who are currently aboard, gaining valuable experience in discipline, team spirit, and wanderlust on the world's oceans.
The "Libertad," measuring 103 meters in length and boasting three masts, will depart Hamburg on August 8th. The ship, which has been sailing under the Argentine flag since 1963, will depart under white sails at 10 am, marking the end of its stay in Hamburg.
It is important to note that large bags or backpacks are not allowed on board the "Libertad." Last admission to the ship is at 4:30 pm during the open days. For the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding the visiting hours and dates in Hamburg, it is recommended to consult the official Argentine Navy announcements or Hamburg port authorities closer to the time, as schedules can change.
The "Libertad," which means "Freedom" in German, has 292 crew members on board. This training ship of the Argentine Navy is a testament to the nation's rich maritime history and its commitment to nurturing the next generation of sailors.
As the "Libertad" prepares to say goodbye to Hamburg on August 8th, it leaves behind a lasting impression of Argentine pride and the spirit of adventure that has been carried across the world's oceans for over half a century.
In addition to exploring the historic "Libertad," visitors may also be inspired by the ship's sailors' unique lifestyle, blending marine education with travels around the world. After their Hamburg stay, these cadets will carry their shared love for sports, particularly sailing, as they embark on future maritime journeys.
