Guided Story

Imagine standing on the deck of a ship that once lit the way for countless sailors for over a century. The Elbe 3 is not just a museum; it’s a living piece of history. Look up, you’ll see a funnel where there was once a mast. This change happened in 1936 when a four-stroke diesel engine was installed. Just behind you, a bit to the east, you can spot the steam icebreaker Stettin, another maritime gem. Listen closely, and you might just hear the hum of engines and the shouts of sailors on the open sea. Let yourself be swept away by the atmosphere and feel the spirit of the past alive on this proud vessel.
