The fascination of the harbor world in miniature is showcased by model building clubs on weekends at the German Harbor Museum. In the shed and in the large water basin on the outdoor area, ship models ranging from the tugboat to bulk carriers, container ships, and tankers can be admired.
On this day, the floating objects SAUGER IV and SAATSEE are operating under steam. What is a steam engine? Two floating work devices from the German Harbor Museum provide a clear answer. The floating crane "Saatsee," built in 1917, is a Hercules with a functional, coal-fired steam engine used for lifting, lowering, and transporting loads. The suction dredger "Sauger IV," a veteran of Elbe dredging with a functional 720 HP steam engine, built in 1909, can take water-mixed dredged material from barges and pump it onto landfill sites. The steam operation is supervised by boiler operators and two crews of volunteers who are also happy to answer visitors' questions.
On the historic box barge, it’s Open Ship, and the Frieda Ehlers is also in operation, offering trips in the Hamburg harbor.
