No real sources at the moment but here you'll find a list of the various ships that could have survived and that I could identify (country by country).
Brazil

Columbia
- Three Mast Gloria (military vessel but sorry I lack its ID number)
Denmark
- Dannebrog Yacht (not a sailing ship but an interisting vessel nonetheless).
France
- Frigate Hermione (currently being rebuilt by a private association)

Japan
- Pre-dreadnaught battleship "Mikasa"
Russia
The ship belong to St Petersburg University and her name shoul be the "Mir"

UK
- HMS Victory
USA
- Frigate Constitution
- Corvette Californian (Cutter?)
- WIX-327 Eagle (US coast guard)
Venezuela
- BE-11 Simon Bolivar
In addition, the last working steam yacht is harbored at Monaco (it belongs to a Belgian Billonaire's daughter but I don't know the name of the ship). A few drakkars are in sailing order in Norway (maned by crazy amateurs deserving respect)...
This is all I can do for now but I'm convinced that several more ships do exist. I just didn't do more research.
Here is the list given by Wiki
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...ailing_vessels
However, a friend of mine is deeply involved in a huge forum on classical ships and I'll try to find it. This friend is currently overworked and I might need several weeks to come up with the information.
