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.

Wir waren an einem verregneten Nachmittag im Dezember dort. Wir hatten nur den normalen Eintritt gebucht. Mit Führung und ein paar erklärenden Worten wäre es wahrscheinlich besser gewesen. An dem Tag war leider auch sonst nicht viel los. Wer Interesse an solchen Schiffen hat, ist hier sicher richtig gut aufgehoben. Großen Dank und Respekt an die Personen, die es für die Öffentlichkeit zugänglich machen und es in diesem intakten und fahrtüchtigem Zustand halten. Für uns war der Besuch ok aber noch einmal werden wir es uns nicht ansehen.

Ein wirklich tolles Schiff in einem guten Zustand. Von der Technischen Seite her war absolut alles zu sehen. Die Lage an den Landungsbrücken ist perfekt und auch der Eingang ist nicht zu übersehen. Leider war vom Wohnbereich der ehemaligen Besatzung nur wenig zu sehen. Ansonsten einwandfrei.

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
