The Bremen is a passenger ship on the Weser and is used as a day trip ship in regular services and for themed trips. The ship is operated by the Weser fleet . It is approved for a maximum of 250 people. The ship was named after the city of Bremen .
The ship with a bow ramp was launched in 1972 by the Sorpesee passenger shipping company on the Sorpesee , a reservoir in the Hochsauerland district. At the beginning of the 2005 season it was sold and replaced by the Sorpesee passenger ship . In April 2005, the seagull was brought to Lake Concordia in Saxony-Anhalt, partly by low loader . It is the largest artificial lake in the Harz foreland in Saxony-Anhalt. The ship was in operation there as a Seeland pearl since May 25, 2005 with a license to carry a maximum of 250 guests.
On July 18, 2009 at around 4:40 a.m. in the area of Nachterstedt, an approximately 350 by 150 meter wide strip of land fell into the lake. People were killed in the accident . The Seeland pearl was partially pushed onto land by the resulting tidal wave. The lake was then closed. The use of a passenger ship was not possible in the long term and the Seeland pearl was advertised for sale. The company Flotte Weser bought the ship. On September 21, 2010, the Seelandperle , which came to the lake by heavy goods transport five years ago, was reloaded and transported overland to Aken on the Elbe . From there the ship drove on its own keel to its port of call via the Elbe and Mittelland Canal to the Weser in Bremen.
