Thoon Kramom (1866 ship)
Thai merchant and naval ship (1866–1903) / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thoon Kramom (Thai: ทูลกระหม่อม, RTGS: Thun Kramom, also spelled Kramoom, Kramon and Kramoon) was a wooden-hulled barque owned by the Siamese (Thai) royal government of King Chulalongkorn. It was built in 1866 in Bangkok, and was used as a trading vessel, counting among its captains the future Danish shipping magnate Hans Niels Andersen, who sailed it to England in 1883 with a cargo of teak. The ship was later converted for use by the Royal Siamese Navy as a training ship, and saw action in the 1893 Paknam Incident. The last sailing ship in the navy, it went out of service and was wrecked by the 1900s.
