A glimpse of the passedâ€¦ very nice!

Where is this type XXI docked at?

AntEater · 02-28-06, 08:17 PM

U Wilhelm Bauer (U 2540) is docked at some nightmarish 1970s concrete structure.
Adjacent to it are the other vessels of the nautical museum.
Of WW2 interest are the high seas tug Seefalke, build 1926 and the Whalecather Rau IX, which served as an armed ASW escort for the Kriegsmarine.
The museum also has the last remaining Walther Turbine of the world and a Seehund Midget.
The square rigger visible in the backround may be of some interest to US tallship fans.
"Seute Deern" originally was the Elisabeth Bandi, a 4 masted wooden Maine Schooner build 1919, but converted to a three masted barque in Germany in the 1930s.
The largest wooden vessel of Germany, but I think she has been stationary since at least 1943.

Bremerhaven is "WesermÃ¼nde" on the SH3 campaign map.

Some questions to our German Kaleuns:

1/ How long does it take from a) Hamburg to Bremershaven b) Berlin to Bremershaven, with public transport (rail/ bus)?

2/Is the museum open every day and weekends? Operating hours?

Thanks

What was that noise? Ironically the Shorts Sunderland is code letter U of No. 461 Squadron, and the submarine is U-461.
