	Gorch Fock (1933) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		On May 3, 1933 the new ship was launched and baptized Gorch Fock in honor of the German writer Johann Kinau who wrote under the pseudonym "Gorch Fock", and commissioned to the German Navy on June 26, 1933.
		The Gorch Fock is a three masted barque: she has square sails on fore and main mast and is gaff rigged on the mizzen.
		Coincidentally, her design has been influenced by another shipwreck: whereas the 1933 Gorch Fock was built in response to the Niobe disaster, the plans of the SSS Gorch Fock were adapted somewhat after the sinking of the Pamir in 1957.
