The HMS Surprise, the fake sailing ship built as the HMS Rose in 1970, later sold to 20th century Fox and converted into the Surprise for the filming of MASTER AND COMMANDER: THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD (2003), currently docked at the maritime museum in San Diego Harbor

The Wyoming, largest wooden sailing ship ever put in to service, the spruce goose of the lucrative maine coastal schooner shipping trade.
Speaking of the maritime museum in San Diego, here are my siblings and I many years ago, pretending to work in an out-of-focus manner aboard the "Star of India."

A 12-foot model of the HMS Maurentania, the sister ship to the famed doomed vessel, Lusitania, was auctioned in 2016 in London for a whopping £162,000. It remains the most valuable ship model ever built!
Bluenose was a fishing and racing gaff rig schooner built in 1921 in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada. A celebrated racing ship and fishing vessel, became a provincial icon for Nova Scotia, serving as a working vessel until she wrecked in 1946. Nicknamed the "Queen of the North Atlantic" (wikipedia)

The Lady Washington from the deck of the Hawaiian Chieftain - two replica ships that sail up and down the west coast. They stop at ports, give tours, teach sailing, stage mock-cannon battles. Visitors can lend a hand.
“Haul on the bowline
We sang that melody…”
It's fake in the sense its built to appear to be an 18th century sailing ship but is built with a bunch of modern materials and contains hidden diesel engines inside. It's still perfectly capable of sailing though!
Hi, I'm a volunteer crew member at the Maritime Museum and (technically; she isn't seaworthy at the moment) one of the Surprise's crew. Can confirm, the "HMS" is just a stage affectation, and the vessel was never a commissioned part of the British Navy.
