Trasporti marittimi - Germania: libri illustrati di storia e guide

Fähr- und Fahrgastschifffahrt an Deutschlands Küsten

NUOVO

From Amrum to Borkum and from Helgoland to Hiddensee, ferry and passenger ships along Germany's coasts carry almost ten million people each year. Without these links, island life would be hardly possible. Supported by many previously unpublished photographs,

This book offers a clear overview of the development of German ferry and passenger shipping. It covers economic importance, operating conditions, and technical progress, while also highlighting typical features such as the well-known duty-free trips that shaped Baltic Sea services for decades.

Author Frederik Erdmann, a recognized expert, provides new insights into current operations, focuses on lesser-known routes and vessels, and brings the history of coastal passenger shipping back to life. A selected list of sources points to rare regional publications.

Hatra Baumaschinen und Schiffe

Da una piccola bottega di fabbro, Hatra! si è trasformata, a partire dal 1919, in una fiorente azienda di costruzioni navali e in un'importante fabbrica di macchinari edili.
Dopo la Seconda Guerra Mondiale, Hans Hagelstein portò la sua azienda ai vertici dell'industria tedesca delle macchine edili. Per quasi 30 anni, i leggendari rulli compressori Kemna, le pluripremiate macchine edili e gli escavatori idraulici all'avanguardia hanno plasmato l'immagine dei cantieri edili di tutto il mondo.
Ma per oltre un decennio, a Travemünde, la cantieristica navale ha dominato il settore, portando numerose nuove imbarcazioni a solcare gli oceani di tutto il mondo. Oltre alle navi d'altura, le imbarcazioni sportive Hatra facevano parte della vasta gamma di prodotti di quella che un tempo era l'azienda con il fatturato più alto dello Schleswig-Holstein, con oltre 1.000 dipendenti.

Oltre a una panoramica storica completa dell'azienda, le navi e tutti i macchinari da costruzione della Hatra sono descritti in dettaglio da un punto di vista tecnico. Il libro illustra inoltre numerosi contesti storici ed eventi straordinari che hanno caratterizzato la storia dell'azienda.

175 Jahre Hapag-Lloyd / 175 Years of hapag-Lloyd

For over a century, the Hamburg-Amerikanische Packetfahrt-Actien-Gesellschaft, founded in Hamburg in 1847, and the Norddeutsche Lloyd, a decade younger and based in Bremen, were fierce competitors, cooperating only when absolutely necessary.
Both rival shipping companies gained global prominence, constructing the largest freighters and fastest passenger steamers, dominating the emigration business, and pioneering the cruise industry. Despite losing their entire fleets in two world wars, they rebuilt, each time larger and more efficient than before. In the late 1960s, facing escalating investments due to the global rise of containerization, Hamburg and Bremen realized the need to merge Hapag and Lloyd.

Today, the Hapag-Lloyd AG, established in 1970, stands among the world's leading liner shipping companies with a fleet of 250 container ships, an annual transport volume of twelve million TEUs, and over 13,000 employees in 129 countries. The commitment of "Number One for Quality" ensures Hapag-Lloyd's position as a profitable global player. This book narrates the captivating history of the company from its founding in 1847 to its jubilee in 2022.

Peking - Schicksal und Wiedergeburt eines legendären Hamburger Segelschiffes

The four-masted barque Peking, built by Blohm & Voss in 1911, is one of the last of the fast cargo sailing ships that were admiringly called the Flying-PLiner. After her fate seemed sealed, she was saved and secured for Hamburg.
How this came about is explained by Matthias Gretzschel in this book, in which he vividly traces the dramatic fate of the ship against the background of the city's, economic and maritime history: from the founding of the F. Laeisz shipping company to the great era of saltpeter shipping, the turmoil of the First World War, the sale of the Peking to England and its time as a museum ship in New York.

Separate chapters report on the threatened scrapping and the fortunate rescue, which was only made possible by the financial support of the German Bundestag. Finally, the return to Germany in a special ship, the restoration at the Peters Werft in Wewelsfleth and the role of the Peking as a landmark of the future German Port Museum in Hamburg are described in detail.
The exciting text is accompanied by historical image documents and current color photos.

Cap San Diego - Museumsschiff für Hamburg

Like no other landmark, the Cap San Diego embodies the port city of Hamburg with its elegant lines. Since 1986, it has been a dignified reminder of the great era of general cargo shipping. In recent years, the museum ship has delighted countless visitors. Not only the engine room and the cargo holds invite you to visit, but also on the command bridge and in the radio room you can get a vivid impression of how the fast general cargo and refrigerated ship, which was put into service in 1962, crossed the South Atlantic.

As a "born Hamburg ship" - designed, built and equipped in Hamburg, sailed by the Hamburg Süd shipping company - she found her retirement home in her home port. As the last ship of her kind, the Cap San Diego is an eloquent testimony to German engineering in shipbuilding. It is the largest seaworthy museum cargo ship in the world. Trips on the "white swan of the South Atlantic", built in 1961, are a very special experience and offer guests exciting insights into ship technology from yesterday and today.

Author Kurt Flechsenhar and Ann-Kathrin Cornelius, managing director of the Cap San Diego operating company, have brought the museum-like and seaworthiness of the Cap San Diego to the fore in their book, as the Cap San Diego is the largest seaworthy museum cargo ship in the world. They document the special knowledge of the former crew members in order to secure it for future generations.

Twins: SK 36 SK 37 - Zwei neue Kreuzer für die Seenotretter

In 1985, the 27.5-meter sea rescue cruisers "Berlin" and "Hermann Helms" of the German Society for the Rescue of Shipwrecked People (DGzRS) were put into service. After 32 years of hard service and more than 6 000 missions, they were replaced in 2017 by two modern 28-meter newbuilds, the new "Berlin" and the "Anneliese Kramer". The fact that two rescue cruisers were built in one shipyard almost simultaneously was an absolute first.

The renowned author, book designer and maritime photographer Peter Neumann accompanied the project with his camera. This book lets the reader experience the development, construction and commissioning of the latest sea rescue cruisers up close on 172 pages and in more than 220 spectacular images. Images and texts take the interested layperson on a production journey worth seeing and also offer the expert fun with a demanding project.

The new "Berlin" and the "Anneliese Kramer" represent the pinnacle of development in the more than 150-year history of organized sea rescue, which began in 1865 with simple rowing lifeboats and bulky cork life jackets.
The two ships are now sailing on the North Sea and Baltic Sea to help people in distress at sea. Every year, the DGzRS records more than 2 000 missions and has rescued more than 84 000 people since its founding.

Deutsche Forschungsschiffe - seit 1905 (Typenkompass)

We still know relatively little about the oceans, the largest of all habitats. In order to be able to explore the seas, modern research ships with appropriate scientific equipment are necessary.
They represent scientific laboratories at sea and take on tasks in a wide variety of disciplines and fields, such as ice and polar research, geology, oceanography, marine biology or in the field of shipbuilding and fisheries science.

Hans Karr presents the most important German research ships that have been or are in use since 1905.
