Yesterday evening we had the pleasure of welcoming the #community of @hamburgafterwork at the #museum for the opening of the new special exhibition “Between Storm and Calm”. Feel free to check #sturmundstille in Instagram to see what they have posted so far. We would also like to thank the colleagues of the Museum Kunst der Westküste for this great cooperation and the guided tours they gave yesterday. The Instagram community @hamburgafterwork have been friends of our museum for years, and we have already started thinking about the next visit. Some places may have reasons to forbid taking photographs, but we at the International Maritime Museum Hamburg are glad if our visitors take as many photographs as they want and even more so if the decide to share them in social media. Feel free to tag us with #maritimesmuseum when you do and just remember not to use any flashlights in our exhibitions.

Das war die lange Nacht der Museen Hamburg 2024 im Internationales Maritimes Museum Hamburg ! Mit rund 6500 Besucherinnen und Besuchern, haben wir unseren Publikumsrekord wieder einmal gebrochen. Als Rossi und Offel um 19 Uhr mit ihrem Rock'n'Roll begannen. Die Bühne war schon voll mit Menschen. Als wir um 00:30 Uhr die letzte Führung durch das Museum gaben, waren noch 25 interessierte Besucher da, um mitzumachen. Während dieser langen Nacht konnte jeder etwas über die maritime Geschichte lernen, wie man ein Schiff steuert, wie man ein Modell baut, ein Schwert benutzt, ein Gemälde restauriert, was die nächsten Schritte in der maritimen Industrie und der ozeanographischen Forschung sind, und einfach gute Musik und einen Drink mit Freunden genießen. Ein bunt gemischtes Publikum genoss unser bunt gemischtes Programm. Wir als Team sind Dankbar für die Unterstützung von all unseren Freunden, Partnern und Besuchern. Und auch stolz auf den Erfolg des Abends. Für uns ist nach der langen Nacht vor der langen Nacht. Wir sammeln schon jetzt neue Ideen und freuen uns auf die Lange Nacht der Museen Hamburg 2025! #lndmhh #maritimes #museum #hamburg

“A Tale of Wadeust”, IV Last week, we left Manila to continue our journey through Asia as part of the visual diary of a young German experiencing the world while on board the MS Rheinland. Today we cross the South China Sea and make our first stop in Taiwan, Kaoshiung, which was back then named Takao. We can see our traveler on the side of a road with a guide while taking a break from driving through Taiwan’s hillside. 
Now in Tainan, Taiwan, the second photo in this part shows five people posing for the camera. A girl is holding a small dog in her arm. The photo description reveals that it was a black and white silk-coated pinscher. The person in the middle is wearing traditionally Japanese laborer footwear, the Jika-tabi, which was invented in 1922 and had its inspiration in tabi-socks; these were used in different kinds of split-toed footwear in Japan. The photo was taken in front of a decorated house chapel in Tainan City. 
Still in Tainan City, we get an insight into the stay of our traveler as he captures two ladies sitting on some beds at the „Schischunen-Hotel“. Only one picture of the hotel is shown in this slide, but this stay must have made a lasting impression, as he took several more photographs in this setting and with the people at this hotel. These and all the other photos you missed out on will be available to look at in our online archive in the future. 
The MS Rheinland, for its next destination, moves to the Island of Hondo and docks at Tokyo Harbor.
In Tokyo, he captures the rebuilding of infrastructure and buildings after the Kanto earthquake. The photo was taken five years after the devastating catastrophe hit Japan. The rebuilding process continued roughly until 1930. 
In photo five, he gets bolder in his motives as he snaps an invasive picture of two women breastfeeding their children on a bench. Traveling through different countries in a matter of weeks and months, our eyes have seen a lot of different impressions, but we are always reminded by the photographs that life, as different as it may seem, still has a lot of commonalities with life at home. 
We continue the journey via train and hop onto the Tokyo-Kyoto Express. As we leave Tokyo, our traveler snaps a photo of a locomotive at the station. With his knowledge of engineering, he describes the photo with the words 1D1 steam locomotive with 4-axle tender. #maritime #museum #hamburg #archive #history #travel

Dear friends, say hello to Frank Maier, Jörg Durst and Heiko Lorenz, three of our technicians colleagues that have been working hard to bring back firepower to the South entrance of our museum. Since our opening in 2008, our visitors have been welcomed by some of the most spectacular treasure of the collection Peter Tamm: two guns from the armament of HMS Foudroyant (1798). This guns sailed with Lord Nelson itself, and are now enjoyed by our visitors and people in general that pass our building by. Some may have missed them in the past few months. The reason is that, despite our good care, they were in need of an overhaul. Our technician colleagues have built new supports and taken in a careful and thorough conservation process, to make sure this pieces of history can survive a few centuries more. This morning, the guns were set in their supports again. Our colleagues have spent a few hours correcting some details then. Tomorrow they plan a last clean up so everything will be ready for Saturday, when we will be celebrating the #lndmhh , the Long Night of the Museums Hamburg 2024. Make sure to come say hello, if you are participating in the event! #maritime #museum #hamburg #teamwork #conservation #history

Europa has been a traditional name for cruise ships of the Hapag-Lloyd Cruises company since its creation in 1971, when the two larger German shipping companies, The Norddeutsche Lloyd (NDL) and the HAPAG (Hamburg-America Line) joined forces into the Hapag-Lloyd AG. The name had already a tradition in the ocean liner of the NDL from 1924. This tradition was continued after the crisis of the ocean liners in the 1960s with the cruise ship Europa, that had been built in 1956 as the MS Kungsholm for the Swedish American Line. By the end of the 1970s HAPAGLloyd Cruises saw the need of building a new ship to satisfy the growing market for cruises in Germany. This was to be the MS Europa from 1981. Built by the Bremer Vulkan shipyard, she was legendary for the quality of her service, where 295 crew members attended up to 600 passengers. 200 m long and 28,5 meters wide, she was among the larger passenger ships active in her time, and had a very modern design that marked the trend to come in cruise ships construction. Her interiors were roomy and actually inspired by the innovations in design made by the Baltic cruise ferries of the 1970s. Only her cabins were larger, all pre-built to be installed in the ship taking special care of the soundproofing of their walls. The ship successfully cruised as the Europa until 1999, when a replacement was built - we posted about this ship and the Europa 2. and she was sold to Star Cruises and renamed SuperStar Europe and later SuperStar Aries. In 2004 she was sold to Grupo Pullmantur Cruceros and named Holiday Dream. This company sold her in 2008 to cdf croisieres de france, that renamed her Bleu de France. She was bought by SAGA CRUISES LIMITED that refitted her thoroughly in Italy between 2011 and 2012, and renamed her Saga Sapphire. In 2019, the ship was to be sold to the Turkish touristic operator Anex Tour. The COVID pandemic coplicated things but the ship was renamed Sea Sapphire in 2020 and set to serve under the Selectum Blue Cruises brand. She is still on duty as such. Her original yard model in a scale of 1:200 is part of our exhibition on the history of modern passengers shipping on deck 6 of the museum. #maritime #museum #hamburg #cruise

Have you seen the monumantal banner on the North façade of the International Maritime Museum yet? The motif is a foretaste of the new special exhibition "Between Storm and Calm", which the Museum Kunst der Westküste is presenting at the Internationales Maritimes Museum Hamburg from May the 3rd to August the 25 th, 2024. Two fishermen dressed in full work gear -  “Ölzeug” and “Südwester” in German - look out of a window. With concentrated expressions on their faces, the men focus their gaze on what is happening outside: what do they see there? Fishermen returning home? An approaching storm? The detail belongs to the painting "Two fishermen from Skagen at the window of the grocery store", which the painter Michael Ancher painted in Skagen in 1905. For centuries, artists have felt challenged to engage with the sea: The sea knows no stagnation. It is in constant, everchanging motion: it is an in a permanent state between storm and stillness, Stay alert for more on our coming exhibition! #sturmundstille #artexhibition #maritime #museum #hamburg
