SS Stettin, Steam icebreaker in Oevelgönne museum port, Germany

The SS Stettin measures 51.75 meters in length and features a specialized Runeberg-bow design for breaking through ice up to half a meter thick.

Built in 1933 at Stettiner Oderwerke shipyard, this vessel maintained shipping channels in the Baltic Sea and participated in military operations during World War II.

The vessel stands as a technical monument in Hamburg's museum port, representing the development of maritime engineering and northern European shipping traditions.

Visitors can explore the original engine room, bridge, and other sections of the ship through guided tours available daily at the museum harbor.

The three-cylinder expansion steam engine generates 2,000 horsepower and performs 120 revolutions per minute, enabling effective navigation through packed ice conditions.
