Working vessels side by side
Compare the hull, deck and rigging of two types of ship and read what they were used for between around 1890 and 1940. Keep your distance from private areas.
A quay with QR stories
Information boards and audio via QR codes give names, years of construction and functions. Use these sources to link a visible detail to a specific vessel.
Going on board is the exception
The jetties and quay can be viewed from outside at all times, but access to the ships is only possible on announced open-ship days. A mooring is not an invitation to go on board.
Before you go
The outdoor site has no ticket-desk schedule; check the association’s calendar if you want to visit a ship inside.
