The port of Hamburg has one more beauty. In addition to the Rickmer Rickmers, the Cap San Diego and the MS Bleichen, the sailing ship Peking will be moored in the port as the fourth large museum ship. The Peking is back in its home port after more than 70 years and is to become the landmark of the new German Port Museum.

The ship is very well preserved. Around the ship there is an interesting mixture of old steel port romance: old railway carriages and locomotives as well as lots of old port cranes. Not as slick as in the tourist districts, which is a good thing!

Even from the outside, the four-masted barque Peking, whose hull is made of steel, looks imposing and impressive. The ship was launched by Blohm and Voss in 1911 for use as a ship transporting saltpeter. The owner, F. Laeisz, not only made good profits with his famous Flying P-Liners in the transport business, but also introduced many innovations on his ships that were unusual for the time. On a tour of the ship (cost €15), you can learn a lot about this and the changing fortunes in the period up to 2017, when the ship was brought back to Hamburg from America for restoration, and get a good impression of how such a ship was used.
