Jim Lad reacted to Kuparu in Herzogin Cecilie 1902 by Jim Lad - Four Masted Barque
To the best of my knowledge, there were a couple of "sister" ships to Herzogin Cecilie which were Herzogin Sophie Charlotte, Viking and L'Avenir. If my memory serves correctly they were all set up as training ships but may not have been perfectly identical. The 'P' Line ships were neither sisters nor identical to the Herzogin's. Some had a central structure as well as forecastle and poop, which, in the case of Kruzenstern was extended later in life. One of the best sources of information about all of these ships is "Square Riggers, The Final Epoch" by Alex Hurst (Teredo Books, 1972). This book is the closest I have ever got to an encyclopaedia for the period. Things get confusing when it is necessary to take into account the name changes which took place through the history of the ships of that epoch.
Good luck with the restoration: at least you don't have to reproduce that double counter aft which I found troublesome in several models.

Nice looking bottle screws! How are you going to prevent the open lower eye from opening under the strain when you tighten up the shrouds?
