The most famous Flying-P-Liner "Pamir" - unfortunately because of her tragic end in 1957.
She had become a favorite among historians and model builders, and there are some plastic model kit available.

The Rigging
The Pamir has a typical barque rigging of a German Windjammer of the last generation:
6 yards on 3 masts, the mizzen only with double spanker sails and a top gaff sail.
Staysails on the bowsprit and between the masts.

Belaying Positions
There IS one original belaying scheme preserved! I bought a copy onboard her sister ship, the Passat, in Lübeck, Germany.
Here is my German-English compilation of it (click to zoom in):
