You can literally walk through the permanent exhibition of the German Port Museum by walking around the grounds. The exhibits inside the 50s shed are rather small compared to the floating exhibits or the cranes on the quay, but of course they are all equally important for learning about the port's history.

The first large machines from the early days of the container are on display in the open air: van carriers that were developed to transport the "boxes" to the terminals. How this works is regularly demonstrated. The large gantry cranes that once handled the transfer between the ship and the shed line the Bremen quay.

The barge steam suction vessel SAUGER IV from 1909 and the floating steam crane SAATSEE from 1917 are accessible via the pontoon system . Both large objects have steam systems that are put into operation one weekend a month. The work of the barge driver and life on board are shown in an exhibition on the Hamburg box barge H 11347 from 1913.

In the show depot in shed 50A, visitors can find information about goods from all over the world, ship models or the historical development of the port facilities.

The PEKING is the first visible object in the collection of the German Port Museum. The four-masted barque is one of the last large cargo ships that could still compete with steam and machine ships at the beginning of the 20th century due to its speed, safety and precision. The ship served as a transport ship for saltpeter from Chile, which was in high demand at the time.

The listed BLEICHEN, which is owned by the Hamburg Maritim Foundation, represents an entire generation of cargo ships.
