Paula was a barque built in 1876 in Hammelwarden, Germany.
She participated in a Deutsche Seewarte experiment investigating ocean currents by means of distributing messages in bottles. A bottle dropped by Paula in the Indian Ocean in 1886 was discovered in January 2018 north of Wedge Island, Western Australia.
