She still has Our Svanen on the transom, even though that name is not mentioned on the web site for Southern Swan! See http://www.sydneytallships.com.au/
For that matter the name Southern Swan is not given prominence either! And Our Svanen is not mentioned as a former name. Another !

Extract from web site follows
She participated in the 1982 Tall Ships Race from Philadelphia to Portugal. In 1986 after appearing at the World Expo in Vancouver, Svanen sailed to England to join the Australian Bicentennial First Fleet Re-Enactment for the historic voyage to Sydney. Svanen’s original name was ‘Mathilde’, then ‘Pacific’ [1926], then ‘H C Andersen’ [1930], and finally ‘Svanen’ [1938].
