Taucherschacht II, Historical vessel in Handelshafen, Magdeburg, Germany.

The Taucherschacht II stands as an engineering vessel constructed in 1898 at the Wenz & Co shipyard in Berlin, featuring underwater work capabilities.

The ship operated with compressed air technology, enabling underwater construction tasks at depths of three meters through a vertically lowerable shaft system.

Now transformed into a museum ship, Taucherschacht II presents the evolution of German maritime engineering from steam power to diesel technology.

Located in Magdeburg's Handelshafen district, visitors can examine the vessel's original equipment, including drilling machines and pneumatic hammers.

The vessel required towing to operation sites as it lacked self-propulsion, using onboard steam engines to power its specialized construction tools.
