German shipowners still had faith in deepwater square-rigged ships in 1914, for use in the world tramping trades. Out of eleven dozen such windjammers flying the German flag when World War One began, twelve full-rigged ships and four-masted barks had arrived in the remote, sun-baked port of Santa Rosalia, Baja California, and were interned by their owners for the duration of the war. This war was not expected to last more than a few months and was to end in a glorious victory for German arms. But it lasted, instead, for more than four years, and the world in general, and the shipping world in particular which emerged with the Armistice and post-war settlements, was wholly different. For six years these ships remained anchored in Santa Rosalia and Guaymas, Mexico, gradually deteriorating for lack of stores and maintenance work, while most of their crews deserted. These crews, consisting mainly of teen-age boys, had signed articles in Hamburg for two years, to go from Hamburg 'to Santa Rosalia, further and back,' hardly knowing that many would never see their homeland again. Nor did the ships return to Europe, save one, many years later. This is an odyssey of wandering, homesick, adventurous, adaptable, maturing, seafaring boys. Their ships eventually, and rather unexpectedly, became American ships, though their days as profitable cargo carriers were practically done. Only a handful sailed again in the 1920's for the Robert Dollar Company of San Francisco. It is also a little known chapter of German, Mexican and American West Coast sailing ship history, related in a large part by the men who brought those ships to the Pacific Coast and who sailed in them in later years.
