National German Maritime Museum

The National German Maritime Museum with the open air museum and the Museum Harbor is located right in the centre of Bremerhaven between the Columbus Centre and the River Weser dyke promenade. In connection with the collections of the museum and the historic surroundings, the park-like area with its large maritime objects on land and the vintage ships of the museum fleet in the Old Harbor forms a unique ensemble of German maritime history.

The attractions of the German National Maritime Museum range from the world`s oldest boat and the Technical Museum Submarine „Wilhelm Bauer” to the only remaining Hansa cog. The museum owns more than 500 model ships, including splendid, magnificent sailing ships intended to conquer colonies. Impressive whalers, two-masters and three-masters that carried the emigrants to their new homeland can also be admired. The extension should not be overlooked either. Since 2000, it houses collections on the history of polar and marine research, fishing and whaling, raw materials from the sea, as well as the traditional craft of building boats from wood.
