Description
(Local Name: Deutsches Schiffahrtsmuseum) Beyond the Geeste in Bremerhaven's Old Harbor is the German Shipping Museum, housed in a building designed by Hans Scharoun. Notable among the exhibits is a Bremen "kogge" (a Hanseatic merchant ship). Among the historic old ships in the harbor are a Mark XXI submarine and a four-master, the "Seute Deern" (restaurant).

On the harbor stands a 112 m/367ft high radar tower (viewing platform). On the east side is the Columbus-Center (tower blocks; 1978).
