The Sagres II, ex-Albert Leo Schlageter, is a Portuguese tall ship, a sister of the Gorch Fock.
The Albert Leo Schlageter was launched on October 30, 1937. She was confiscated by the United States after World War II, and then given to Brazil, where she sailed as a school ship under the name Guanabara. In 1961, the Portuguese Navy bought her to replace the old school ship Sagres (which was transferred to Hamburg, where she is a museum ship under her original name Rickmer Rickmers). The Portuguese named her accordingly Sagres II. She still sails as of 2004.
For more information, see Gorch Fock.
