End of the line ...

Scrapping has begun in december, the masts are already gone and soon the rest will be gone, too.

The museum stored a few relics and that's all what will be left.

The german federal government has decided to give a considerable amount of money for a reconstruction, but no one wants to touch that money because they are all afraid that they have to add a few euros from their own purse.

So we see this ship fading away and we can guess which one is next - a survey is already been conducted.

I spent a lot of time in Bremen and Bremerhaven and always liked it but I have to say these ships ended up in the wrong german city. This would not have happend if they were berthed in Hamburg, believe me.

I have been to maritime museums all over the world from Venice, Italy to Victoria, BC and they are all doing a better job than the people in charge in Bremerhaven.


Best regards,

Michael.

P.S. Yes, I'm angry, because I'm seeing the ships rotting away for decades an one ship after another going for scrap (Seute Deern, Kormoran, Goliath (not part of this museum)).

You are right rd77, there is indeed hope for her:

https://www.ndr.de/nachrichten/niedersachsen/oldenburg_ostfriesland/Bund-gibt-Millionen-Seute-Deern-wird-nachgebaut,seutedeern220.html (in german)

And I was pleased to read that I'm not the only one who is aware of the large-scale neglect of the museum ships - there is a lawsuit filed against the people in charge:

https://www.butenunbinnen.de/nachrichten/gesellschaft/anzeige-schifffahrtsmuseum-kogge-bremerhaven-100.html (in german)

I'm so tired of hearing the same stupid arguments over and over again: we inherited all these problems, there was nothing we could do, our prdecessors were responsible, bla, bla, blub.

Example: https://www.butenunbinnen.de/nachrichten/gesellschaft/seute-deern-abwracken-schifffahrtsmuseum-bremerhaven-100.html (in german)

And the other ships and relics are about to share her faith: https://www.butenunbinnen.de/nachrichten/wissen/museumshafen-bremerhaven-122.html (in german)

They are spending 20 000 Euros per year for all of the ships, cranes, ... around the museum. What a shame.


Best regards,

Michael.

I read somewhere that she will be saved after all. German government will fork out EUR 46 mln. They are spending a lot on derelict sailing ships lately ;-)

What a sad Centennial celebration for her! Thank you for the great photo and the regrettable information on her future.

Thanks, Emmanuel and Michael,
yes, nothing was done to prevent her
from rotting away.
In 2008 another wooden museum ship was scrapped:

This Museum has a long tradition of letting ships it should preserve rot away until there is no other option than scrapping.

See "Kranich" for example. Instead of doing something they "hid" the ship between the other museum ships for years until they sold her for scrapping in Denmark.
Only a few parts were saved.

It is a shame to see in museums other countries that preservation IS possible and then you come to Bremerhaven ...

And the lame excuses from the officials are just that - lame excuses.

For years it seems to me that they want to get rid of their museum ships and only see them as a burden. So they just let them rot until there is no other possibility than scrapping.

Again - it's not about money. Other museums show what can be done with much less ...

It's just a shame and I hope people some time stop donating and cut funds to show that they are doing a very bad job.

Best regards,

Michael.
