Cap San Diego Museum Ship
Cap San Diego
The world's largest seaworthy museum cargo ship, built in 1961, where you can visit the engine room, bridge and crew quarters.
The Cap San Diego was a deep-sea general cargo ship built in 1961. Its elegant lines earned it the nickname 'the White Swan of the South Atlantic', and it once sailed between Germany and South America. Today it's a museum ship moored on the east side of the St. Pauli Landungsbrücken, and it is the largest museum cargo ship in the world that can still sail. Visitors can explore the bridge, the engine room, the cargo hold exhibition and the crew living quarters. In summer the ship occasionally takes trips along the Elbe. Adult admission is about €10, and a visit takes about 1 to 1.5 hours.
