Not just "brunch under steam"
2-hour port anniversary cruise on the world's largest remaining coal-fired museum steam icebreaker STETTIN
Would you like to experience firsthand how work was done on a coal-fired steamer from the 1930s? To see a huge steam engine in action in the engine room? To watch the stokers as they generate steam with two enormous boilers and manually burn up to 1500 kg of coal per hour in the 6 fires?
Escape the hustle and bustle of the Port Anniversary and admire Hamburg's skyline from the water. On the final day, you can catch one last glimpse of the diverse array of proud tall ships in the harbor. You won't have this opportunity again until next year. You'll also see the beautiful captains' houses of Oevelgönne and the elegant villas along the Elbchaussee. Every day, container ships are unloaded by the large cranes in the harbor basins. You'll see the Landungsbrücken (St. Pauli Piers) and, of course, our "ELPHI" (Elphi).
A freshly tapped beer and delicious food from the galley make the trip especially enjoyable!
THE SHIP
The STETTIN was commissioned in 1933, as the largest icebreaker under the German flag to date.
It kept the Oder River and the Szczecin Lagoon ice-free. In March 1945, it was able to escape from Szczecin to Copenhagen across the Baltic Sea with more than 500 war refugees – at times under the effects of the war. Subsequently, it found its home port in Hamburg and was responsible for keeping the ice on the Elbe River, the Kiel Canal, and the Kiel Fjord clear.
Since 1982, the steam icebreaker STETTIN has been a museum ship and technical cultural monument, is maintained by volunteers and relies on donations, sponsors and the income from trips for the preservation of the ship.
