      hello Vitoria. I have checked - and the green ship is Alexander von Humboldt II - which I think is german. When I look at pictures of sagres II - that ship has a white hull and white sails. Mark.

      It`s a long story. It was made in German and aprisioned during the war and as nodoby want it, il came to Portugal. After the German state bought it and now is a Museum in Hamburg that I visited too.

      I see. Apparently the boat that is permanently in Bremen is the original Alexander von Humboldt. The ship in my photo is alexander von humboldt II - its new replacement. Mark.
