Grönland, Museum ship at German Shipping Museum in Mitte, Germany.

The Grönland sailing vessel extends 25.80 meters in length and stands as an exhibit at the German Shipping Museum in Bremen.

In May 1868, Captain Carl Koldewey led a twelve-member crew aboard the Grönland on an Arctic expedition to find a route through pack ice.

This protected cultural heritage monument in Bremen preserves maritime traditions and serves as an educational resource for visitors interested in naval exploration.

The vessel remained missing from 1871 until 1973, when it was discovered and transported to Bremerhaven for preservation and public display.

The Grönland holds the distinction of being the oldest polar research ship in existence, with restoration work ongoing at a specialized Danish shipyard.
