Wrackmuseum Cuxhaven, Maritime museum in Cuxhaven, Germany
The Wrackmuseum Cuxhaven exhibited 1500 maritime artifacts recovered from ships that sank in the German Bight, Ems, Weser, and Elbe rivers.
Peter Baltes established the museum in June 1980 after the city council commissioned him following his successful 1978 exhibition 'From Sunken Ships'.
The museum preserved the maritime heritage of northern Germany through extensive collections of recovered ship parts, tools, and personal belongings of sailors.
The museum merged with the Cuxhaven Fishing Museum in December 2013 to form the Windstärke 10 - Wrack- und Fischereimuseum Cuxhaven.
Each artifact in the collection represented specific historical maritime events, documenting the perils of North Sea navigation through physical evidence.
