What is the difference between ketch, schooner, tjalke and ewer? How are the long ship's planks bent? And how great was the influence of the Hanseatic League in Greifswald? Visitors can find out all this and more on one of the numerous guided tours through the Greifswald Museum Harbour. Starting at the Fangenturm, the path can first lead along the southern Ryckseite, where numerous traditional ships such as the Tjalke "Christian Müther", the Gaffelketsch "Atlantik" and the Pomeranian Jagt "Vorpommern" are docked at the edge of the harbour. In addition to the individual ships and their functions as suppliers, fishing cutters and icebreakers, you can learn interesting facts about the history of the city port of Greifswald and the influence of the Hanseatic League.
Over the pedestrian bridge it can also continue towards Greifswald shipyard museum go. In the historic boat building halls, there is still a lot of activity when the sails are patched and the planks are bent in spring and autumn. Only in the midst of the hustle and bustle in the sheds and halls do you realize how much time, money and effort the ship owners put into the maintenance and care of their wooden ships.
