    Full description
    Go on an imaginary journey to the 1960s and 70s, across the Atlantic Ocean to Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires and back again. Experience life as a lookout on the bridge or stand deep within the Machine Room to feel the steady pulse of the engines. Relax with the passengers in the saloon to the sound of light music while on a fun-filled voyage to South America. Cap San Diego is the largest civil museum ship in the world. It is the last surviving ship in a series of six fast general cargo ships, which were built in 1961/62 for the shipping company Hamburg South and drove to South America until the end of 1981. Hamburg's unique maritime monument has been a museum ship since 1988 and can be visited from bridge to hatch and from heart to head. During your self-guided tour, watch the documentary "A Suitcase Full of Hope - Emigration Port of Hamburg" about the fate of emigrants between 1850 and 1930. In hatch 2, find the permanent exhibition "General Cargo and Container Handling," which clearly documents the history of sea freight transport from 1960 to today with many historical images and explanatory texts.

      I was already familiar with the ship because - a long time ago - we celebrated my husband's 70th birthday there, including a guided tour. That was great and very special at the time! And now the grandchildren are big enough to explore the ship from top to bottom. They had a lot of fun. For me, the last 2 stairs down from the engine room were too steep for me - of course not for the grandchildren! All in all, a successful excursion for the Kidis and also for me because of the wonderful memories.

      If you have 2-3 hours and are interested in seafaring, you should definitely plan a visit to the general cargo ship Cap San Diego! It is advisable to reserve tickets online in order to be safe in the current Corona times. For the large ship with the extensive information, the specified visiting time is required depending on the interest. The inspection of the engine rooms over several floors is impressive, as is the storage of general cargo compared to today's container ships. We had a lot of fun, is entertaining and highly recommended!

      Ich war von der Größe des Schiffes überrascht. Man konnte einen guten Einblick in den Alltag der Crew nehmen. Die Kajüten , die Kombüse, die Brücke, die Laderäume. Alles sauber und ordentlich. Eine kleine Gastronomie hätte gut getan. Es fehlt ein wenig der Pep , vorgemacht hat es Hidden in Hamburg. Daher 4 statt 5 Sterne
