Seefalke, Museum ship at German Maritime Museum in Bremen, Germany.

The Seefalke extends 58.50 meters in length and features two six-cylinder diesel engines generating 3300 horsepower for maritime operations.

Built in 1924 at Tecklenborg shipyard, the Seefalke served as the first diesel-powered salvage tug worldwide until its retirement in 1970.

The vessel represents German maritime engineering excellence through its display at the German Maritime Museum, educating visitors about naval rescue operations.

Visitors can explore the vessel's technical components, including the radio station currently maintained by amateur radio operators at the museum harbor.

During World War II, the ship was deliberately sunk by its owners in Kiel's outer fjord to prevent destruction, then recovered and modernized in 1950.
