There is a wealth of information on the Internet about the history of the 3064 Gross Ton, Four Masted Barque Kruzenshtern featured in this image. Built in 1926 in Germany and originally named Padua, she was handed over to Russia in 1946 as part of world War 2 war reparations and eventually converted as a sail training vessel for the Russian Navy. This image of her was captured in December 2009 in the Port of Santa Cruz Tenerife.
