mothwingI was born in Hamburg. The city has a big harbour, and excursions to said harbour and prerequisite tours of it by boat are a school trip staple of all towns in a 50km radius. There is also the annua Hafengeburtstag a street festival celebrating the anniversary of the harbour, and plenty of other, harbour-and-boat-related activities. I get seasick and somehow never caught the any romantic ideas about a seafaring lifestyle.
Thus at some point I did mention to Crocky that I am not, really, that interested in boats. She gave me a long look and said, "I may have bad news for you." She was not wrong. Still, the reconstructed harbour we visited was very nice. It's another living history museum and very much worth the trip.
There were some boats.
Rebuilt Christian church.
Someone obviously is putting those long evenings to productive use: the tapestry at the back is hand-stitched. The beds look a lot more comfortable than some of the beds we've seen on our visit to the 825-versions they had in Ribe.
This druid is in the area on holidays with his family and also explains the religion of the Viking to visitors.
Place of worship.
These boats I mentioned.
A merchant ship and another boat.
The Ravnunge, a whaler.
The Ravnunge from the side.
I think this is a replica of a funeral boat, the but I'm not sure.
