North Friesland Maritime Museum
The North Friesland Maritime Museum (spelled with two "f") is located at Zingel 15 in Husum , Schleswig-Holstein . The relationships between the port of the city and the district of North Friesland and shipbuilding , shipping, whaling and coastal fishing are shown here on four levels . Larger exhibits such as a historical slipway , engines and anchors are located in the outdoor area.
ground floor
The building of the North Friesland Maritime Museum dates back to 1902 and is located at the head of the Husum inland port opposite the town hall. The museum was established in 1988/89 through a private initiative. On the ground floor, visitors are informed about the history of wooden shipbuilding , tools , Wadden Sea fishing, whaling , shipping, ship navigation and rescue at sea . Part of the hull of a wooden ship, the stern of a so-called Eiderschnigge in original size , shows the compact design and the stable frame construction . There is also a collection of maritime rarities and ships in bottles on the ground floor. On the same level, but in the open-air area, there are other exhibits such as a lighthouse , various boat and ship propulsion engines, anchors, barrels and the Eltje lifeboat of the German Society for the Rescue of Shipwrecked People.
First floor
The full-size bridge of a small ship with a helm, engine telegraph and other technical devices gives the visitor the layout of a wheelhouse from the 1960s. Looking out of the windows, a video shows the ship's departure realistically. Further topics are "1000 years under sail" and the school shipping, which was carried out by some shipping companies and the Navy . The visitor gets an insight into the work of the Husum cartographer Johannes Mejer as well as into the Wadden Sea shipping typical of the North Sea and the navigation signs (buoy and beacons, lighthouses and lightships ). The steel shipbuilding from riveting to welding is shown in a separate room , partly based on the Husum shipyard .
Basement, attic and inland port
In the basement and in a modern extension is the wreck of a cargo ship from around 1600, also known as the “sugar ship”: A sugar water solution was used to preserve the sensitive oak wreckage. The salvage and conservation of the wreck between July 1994 and 1997 are documented in detail on display boards and videos. In the next room there is a fur boat and various historical finds from the Wadden Sea. The top floor is reserved for special maritime exhibitions and video presentations.
At the inland port, the “Hildegard” buoy laying boat can be seen on the historic slipway, as well as a large bulbous bow , the propeller of a large freighter and a large rigging mast.
