Rickmer Rickmers Museum Ship

Rickmer Rickmers

A three-masted sailing ship built in 1896, moored at the St. Pauli Landungsbrücken, with its hold converted into a maritime museum and open decks to explore.

The Rickmer Rickmers is a three-masted steel-hulled sailing ship launched in 1896 at the port of Bremen. It once carried rice and bamboo between the Far East and Europe. After World War I it was passed around and served as a Portuguese navy training ship. In 1983 it returned to Hamburg and was restored as a museum ship. Visitors can explore the deck, the captain's cabin, the crew quarters and the cargo hold exhibits to learn about life at sea in the age of sail. The ship also has a restaurant on board. Adult admission is about €7.50, and a visit takes about an hour. It's right beside the St. Pauli Landungsbrücken.
