The Georg Stage is a Danish sailing training ship with full rigging and steel hull manufactured using the Siemens-Martin process . In 1934, she ran as a second ship of that name on 22 September 1934 at the "Frederikshavns Værft og Flydedok" (Frederikshavn Shipyard and Floating) in Frederikshavn , Denmark , from the stack to its his time to replace 52 years old predecessor. Her maiden voyage began on April 24, 1935 with 80 men on board through the Baltic and North Seas. The hull is painted black (surface hull) or red (underwater hull), it has three diesel units for auxiliary propulsion and for operating generators and auxiliary units on board, 5 decks and three lifeboats (2 rowing lifeboats on the aft side walls and a motor dinghy at the stern ( all in davits )) and life raft.

Under the bowsprit, she bears the gilded bust of the namesake Georg Stage as a figurehead , which she took over from her predecessor and whose legacy she inherited as the foundation's training ship in 1934. In 1989 the Georg Stage traveled to Mystic Seaport and visited its namesake there. Both are among the smallest three-masted full-ship units of their time.
