The Krusenstern (also known as Kruzenshtern) is a four-masted barque that was built in 1926 in Bremerhaven, Germany as the Padua (named after the Italian city). She was surrendered to the USSR in 1946 as a war reparation item and renamed after the early 19th century Baltic German explorer in Russian service, Adam Johann Krusenstern (1770–1846). She is now a Russian sail training ship.
