Harbour Museum (in Progress) |
 |
|
Over the years, our museum has amassed a substantial collection on various aspects of harbour work such as shipbuilding and the handling of cargo. Since 2002, this collection has been located in the Hansehafen. At the last remaining docks from the Imperial Age, originally built for the handling of cargo, visitors will find numerous exhibits alongside a typical Hamburgian quay: the coal-fired floating steam crane "Saatse", for example, built in 1917, was used on the Kiel Canal between the North Sea and the Baltic for 65 years, and now houses an exhibit on historic technology, work, and everyday life on the crane. The "Sauger IV" of 1909 is another steam-operated vessel, but is also equipped with a centrifugal pump, which was used to empty the dredgers and barges filled with accumulated dirt and sand during the deepening of the Elbe River in the 1960s. In addition, visitors can climb aboard two former patrol boats used by the Elbe River police.
