German Maritime Museum
Deutsches Schifffahrtsmuseum
Germany's national maritime museum in Bremerhaven, whose highlight is a 1380 Hanseatic cog, with several historic ships moored in the outdoor harbour basin.
The museum presents German maritime history from the Middle Ages to the present. Its centrepiece is a 14th-century Hanseatic cog, raised from the Weser River in 1962 and remarkably well preserved. The open-air harbour basin is home to sailing ships, an icebreaker and a submarine. The museum can be combined with the nearby Emigration Center, Klimahaus and zoo for a day trip to Bremerhaven.
