Jan-Dirk, Motor ship museum in Drochtersen, Germany.
The Jan-Dirk motor ship measures 42.58 meters in length and features a six-cylinder diesel engine manufactured by Deutz, producing 250 horsepower.
Built in 1949 at Mützelfeldtwerft in Cuxhaven, the vessel operated under different names including Jürgen and Heinrich Nagel before receiving its current designation in 1974.
The vessel represents a significant example of post-war German maritime engineering, constructed under Allied Control Council restrictions following World War II.
Visitors can access the museum ship from Stade railway station by taking bus 2026 to Drochtersen Church, followed by a 3.4-kilometer walk to the vessel.
The Jan-Dirk stands as the final unmodified Weselmann-type coastal freighter among 71 vessels built according to this specific design after World War II.
