Seute Deern, Training vessel at German Shipping Museum, Bremerhaven, Germany
Description
The Seute Deern is a sailing vessel over 60 meters long with a wooden hull, now housed at the German Shipping Museum in Bremerhaven as an exhibit. The ship displays the classic structure of a cargo sailing vessel with period rigging and traditional sail hardware.
History
The vessel was built in 1919 in the United States and underwent major modifications in 1938 at a Hamburg shipyard to become a three-mast barque. These alterations transformed it into a working cargo ship for international trade.
Culture
The name "Seute Deern" comes from Low German and means "sweet girl," represented by a carved figurehead of a young woman in traditional dress. This type of personification was common for ships of that era and gives the vessel a distinctive character.
Practical
The vessel can be explored by visitors and is located directly on the museum grounds alongside other maritime exhibits. Access is via a gangway, and stairs lead through the different decks for exploring the interior spaces.
Did you know?
The vessel served for many years as a floating hotel and restaurant before taking on its current museum role. This reuse preserves maritime history and shows how sailing ships were adapted for different purposes.
