<HTML>It is right that you were both on a sailing school ship Gorch Fock, but not on the same one.
Wolfgang Lüth spent time on the Gorch Fock which was sunk be the crew on May 1, 1945 at near to Stralsund. The ship was raised in 1948 and commissioned again in 1951 by the soviet navy under the name of Towaritsch.
Yours Gorch Fock was build in 1958 by Blohm and Voss in Hambourg and is still today the sailing school ship of the german federal navy.</HTML>
