Stump the German

Brilliant, Gene and Bill!!! Thanks

Jules Verne himself, over the time, owned three ships, all by the name of “Saint Michel”. The first two were smaller sailing boats; the third was a larger ship with a steam engine. (Aboard this vessel he visited my hometown Kiel in 1881.)
   
Gene and Bill, you win a trip aboard the "Nautilus" to a destination of your choice. Maybe here?
