a walkaround by Dariush

Kiel Maritime Museum...

The maritime museum is located in a former fish market hall at the Kiel harbor.

Permanent exhibits include, models representing ships from different periods, nautical instruments, artistic ship paintings, figureheads, the legendary Kiel marine suit for boys, and inventions like a model of the first German submarine.

Also on exhibit are an original sonar, dioramas and the emperor’s panorama 3-D-picture-show. Additional paintings include large seascape paintings and other maritime paintings.

At an adjoining pier the visitor can tour three ships the lifeboat "Hindenburg", the fireboat "Kiel" and the buoy ship "Bussard" from 1905. On the Bussard you can view the original steam engine and boiler room.

Editor Note:
Dariush sent these to me a couple years ago. I finally asked him to let me use these as a feature. So, Thank you mt friend! And to the rest of you, Enjoy.

Nice photos, nice walkaround. When I am next visiting Munster Tank Museeum I might add another day in the region and go there and add Laboe on the way back. Just one minor: Kiel not Hamburg. Granted, 100km and a different sea are minor elements for an american but Kielers might take offense and throw fish - fresh from the Hamburg Fischmarkt

Yes, I did make a mistake. I wrote the text before I added the pictures. Then realized my text was wrong, but totally forgot to switch everything. But it is fixed now!
