Bremen cog, Medieval merchant vessel at German Maritime Museum in Bremerhaven, Germany.

The Bremen cog spans 24 meters in length, features a rounded hull design, and stands as a complete medieval merchant ship from 1380.

Discovered in the Weser River during 1962 dredging operations, this vessel required extensive preservation with polyethylene glycol treatment lasting 18 years.

The ship represents the maritime legacy of the Hanseatic League, demonstrating the advanced shipbuilding methods and trade capabilities of medieval German merchants.

Visitors can examine the vessel at the German Maritime Museum, which opens daily from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM and requires approximately 150 minutes for a complete tour.

The cog's construction reveals a carvel-built bottom combined with clinch-built sides, carrying an estimated load capacity of 130 tons through coastal waters.
