German Maritime Museum

Exploring the eventful relationship between man and the sea and allowing visitors to experience it through exhibits – this is what the German Maritime Museum / Leibniz Institute for Maritime History set out to do in Bremerhaven. The heart of the family and research museum is the cog from 1380. This permanent exhibit offers insight into the construction, the Hanseatic League and the cult surrounding the 600-year-old merchant vessel, considered to be the best preserved ship from the Middle Ages. Some of the ships that guests can board in the museum harbor include the high seas rescue tug SEEFALKE, the whaler RAU XI and the harbor tub STIER.
