What we will do
- Our
shuttle bus from the port will take us on a short trip to the Bremerhaven
Maritime Museum, just a few meters away from the drop off point.
- We'll
have the chance to visit one of the largest collections of maritime relics in
the world, tracing the history of seafaring as we wind our way through the
museum's rooms and the park outside.
- We'll
begin our visit inside the museum with its displays of ship equipment from past
centuries, uniforms, ship decks and smaller craft. One of the highlights is the
an incredibly well-preserved Hanseatic cog that dates back to 1380, the only
surviving example of this kind of boat, which was widely used by Medieval
traders.
- Our visit
will continue outside, where we can admire real ships in the open air, including
the large bark Seute Deern, the polar vessel Gronland and a U-boat from the
Second World War.
- The
museum is also a research centre and a point of reference for maritime science
in Northern Europe.
- At the end of the visit we'll return to the port by shuttle bus.
