从汉堡北京号（Peking）、德国五桅全帆船 Preußen，到奥地利的 Sowitasgoht V，这篇文章走进风帆时代最后的辉煌。透过三艘不同年代的帆船，回顾远洋贸易、环球航运与横渡大西洋的发展，重新理解在人类拥有蒸汽机与柴油机之前，风如何连接世界，也如何开启现代航海文明。 This article explores three remarkable sailing ships encountered in Germany and Austria: the four-masted barque Peking, the legendary five-masted full-rigged ship Preußen, and the ocean-going yacht Sowitasgoht V.

真正推动文明向前的，不一定是最耀眼的船，而是那些默默工作的船。本篇走访汉堡、杜伊斯堡、海尔布隆与斯图加特，介绍 Buffalo、Cordillera、Cap San Diego、Oscar Huber、Tauerei Ruhrort 与 Marina 六艘德国工作船。从能源、食物、贸易到内河运输，它们共同见证了德国工业文明如何一步一步建立，也让人重新思考：真正推动世界运转的力量，往往隐藏在最不起眼的地方。 What truly drives civilization forward is not always the most famous ship, but the working vessels that quietly keep the world moving. Based on fieldwork in Hamburg, Duisburg, Heilbronn and Stuttgart, this article introduces six German working ships—Buffalo, Cordillera, Cap San Diego, Oscar Huber, Tauerei Ruhrort and Marina. From energy and food transport to global trade and inland navigation, they reveal how Germany's industrial civilization was built through countless unseen efforts and innovative engineering.

2026 年，我在德国港口与航运博物馆展开了一场特别的收藏。从汉堡港口博物馆的 Imperator（皇帝号），到杜伊斯堡内河航运博物馆与 BallinStadt 的皇室之船，这四艘以德国皇室命名的船，见证了帝国、河流、航运与现代旅行的发展，也开启了"令尹夫人的爱船船队"。 On my museum journey through Germany, four royal ships changed the way I look at navigation.
