The Rotor ship Baden-Baden was the invention of German Anton Flettner The
rotors were actually more effective on this ship than the sails they replaced,
since it could tack to 25 degrees from windward while the original schooner
could only tack to 45 degrees. But the era of new commercial sailing ships was
ending
