Dandelions in the foreground, the submarine Wilhelm Bauer in the background — another view from Bremerhaven’s Alter Hafen.
A calm black-and-white scene where soft spring details meet maritime history.

The lightship Elbe 3 at Bremerhaven’s Alter Hafen ⚓
Same harbour, different ship — and another beautiful maritime view. With its striking red hull and tall masts, Elbe 3 stands out beautifully against the modern skyline in the background.

The ship Seefalke in Bremerhaven’s Alter Hafen ⚓
Moored in front of the modern skyline, this historic vessel adds a striking maritime touch to the harbour scene. A nice contrast between old seafaring history and the city around it.

Bremerhaven, Alter Hafen by the playground: apparently, one bag of chips is all it takes to turn a calm group of seagulls into a full-on harbor argument. Wings up, beaks forward, everyone fighting for the best bite. Just another normal day by the coast. 😄

A historic steam-driven shunting crane stands on the former western quay in the southern part of Bremerhaven’s Old Harbour. Built in 1939/40 by Orenstein & Koppel AG in Lübeck, this dockyard crane was used at the Kurt Bartels yachtyard in Elsfleth until 1972. Powered by a horizontal reversible twin-cylinder steam engine, it could lift up to 3 tonnes, reach 6 meters, and rotate a full 360 degrees — a fascinating piece of maritime industrial heritage.

A bright red lightship rests in the Old Harbor of Bremerhaven, reflecting softly on the calm water under a clear blue sky. Surrounded by historic masts and the city waterfront, the scene captures the maritime character of the harbor beautifully.
