Extra info:
Statsraad Lehmkuhl was built in 1914 as a school training ship for the German merchant marine under the name Grossherzog Friedrich August.
After the First World War the ship was taken as a prize by the United Kingdom and in 1921 the ship was bought by former cabinet minister Kristoffer Lehmkuhl (hence the name, which means "Cabinet Minister Lehmkuhl").

With the exception of the Second World War, when she was captured by German troops and called Westwarts, the ship has belonged to Bergens Skoleskib until it was donated to the Foundation in 1978.
