From the North Pole to the South, from the shallows to the deeps, exploration vessels undertake a variety of ocean exploration assignments, acting as floating science laboratories. Originally this 42 m long ship was an American mine-sweeper that was launched in 1942. The US Navy made her available to Great Britain who used her in the Mediterranean in World War II. After the war the ship remained in the Mediterranean and was converted into a ferry, until she was taken over by an oceanographer in 1950. This oceanographer fundamentally redesigned the vessel and installed specific exploration equipment aboard for research purposes. Like the ship, the model has hydrojet- propelled submarines, an additional rubber dinghy and a Hughes 300C helicopter. The helicopter lands on a pad installed aft. The two-part hull of the model is a true-to-original structural reproduction with striking observation portholes in the bow. Two diver figures and two sharks are also included.

At first glance, the streamlined shape, the stepped hull and the dynamic lines indicate an enormous power potential. This power boat with a length of about 12 m cuts through the waves at a breathtaking speed of 103 km/h. The passengers are glued to their seats by the headlong acceleration of the two V8 engines (2 x 575 hp). Don Johnson in the well-known TV series "Miami Vice" used this mode of transport.

On April 10.1912, R.M.S. Titanic with 2200 passengers on board left Southhampton on its maiden voyage to New York. It has been built by Harland and Wolff in Belfast and offered its passengers every possible comfort. This most luxurious liner, considered unsinkable at the time, measured 270 m in length and 28 m in width with a maximum speed of 24 knots. On the evening of April 14.1912 the Titanic collided with an iceberg that had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. In the resulting panic it was impossible to abandon ship in an orderly and organised manner. Within 3 hours this giant liner sank, taking 1500 passengers down with it.

The G.T.S. Finnjet that went into service in 1977 counted as the largest passenger ferry and still holds the record as the fastest and most powerful conventional ferry in the world. Due to her unique gas turbine power plant that takes the vessel to a top speed of 30.5 knots in just 3 minutes, the 1,145 km journey from Travemünde to Helsini takes less than 24 hours. There is accommodation for about 1,800 passengers and 380 vehicles on 9 decks. Ample facilities are provided for the well-being of the passengers, such as restaurants, boutiques, cinemas, a fitness centre, an entertainment centre, swimming pool and sauna and a dance hall. The Finnjet, a member of the "1A Super" top Finnish ice breaker class, has a length of 212.8 m and an overall weight of 25,908 gross registered tonnes. The Finnjet plied the regular Baltic route until 2005, when, after stays in the USA, the Bahamas and in Italy she was sold to breakers in India in 2008. The Finnjet - one of the largest and fastest passenger ferries in the world - a superlative ship from all points of view.

Unique green sails and over 100 years of history give this elegant sailing ship an unmistakable image. The hull of the bark "Alexander von Humboldt" was built in 1906 following the design of the sailing ship "Bismarck" and was first used as a floating light vessel named "Reserve Sonderburg". In 1986 the ship renamed the "Kiel" was replaced by an modern lighthouse. At this time "The Sail Training Association Germany" was looking for a large sailing ship to work with young people and found the ideal basis in the "Kiel" with its windjammer hull. The Deutsche Stiftung Sail Training (German Sail Training Foundation) was set up and with financial assistance from the Beck & Co. brewery and a businessman in Bremen, the conversion to a bark was started. Under the auspices of the DSST the youth training windjammer was created with the aim of offering to young people from all over the world a school at sea and an unforgettable learning experience. As an introduction to the North Sea Week in 1988 the "Dream under 25 sails" began with the naming of the vessel after "Alexander von Humboldt" the renowned German explorer and natural scientist. Since then she has been a regular guest at windjammer reviews and has sailed round the world several times. Length: 63 m; draught: 830 tonnes; sail area: 1010 mý, max. crew: 60; 615 hp 4-stroke diesel engine; home port: Bremerhaven.

From the end of the eighth century AD, Vikings originating from Scandinavia regularly appeared in Great Britain and on the European mainland on raiding expeditions in their Longships. These highly sea worthy fighting ships of around 20 metres (66 feet) in length had a bow at both ends, enabling them to beach and/or launch in either direction. The shallow draught of only 1.5 metres (5 feet) also gave the Vikings the option of sailing or rowing up inland waterways and rivers, allowing them to raid areas deep in the hinterland. With these fast (a speed of 20 knots) and very manoeuvrable fighting ships also known as "Dragon Boats", the Vikings ventured as far away as Iceland, Greenland and even North America, as excavations at settlements have proven.

The Santa Maria was a typical merchant vessel of the 15th century. Except for Noah's ark, she is undoubtedly the best known ship in the world. On September 9, 1492 Christopher Columbus set sail from the Canaries in search of the westerly sea route to India - on a voyage that was to become one of the greatest voyages of discovery in history. He chose the Santa Maria as the flagship of his little fleet. With 100 tons and a crew of 52, she was the biggest of the three ships. After an arduous voyage, on 12 October, Columbus at last reached Watling Island in the Bahamas, believing it to be "one of the islands which are set down in the maps at the end of the Orient". On a subsequent reconnaissance trip the Santa Maria ran aground off Haiti. Her wood was ultimately used for the construction of a fort.

Since the 12th century cogs had been used as merchant ships from the Baltic to the Mediterranean. Hundreds of ships sailed to England, Belgium, France and Portugal selling wine, wool, salt, oil, cloth, sub-tropical fruits, beer and silver. With Sweden, Denmark and Germany they traded in stockfish, wax, grain, wood, salt, tar, pitch, copper, furs and amber. The cog was of such great importance to the merchants that it became the synonym for the Hanseatic League. With the early cogs the advance was made from coaster to merchantman on the high seas. In addition to the four main trading ports of the Hanseatic League in Novgorod, Bruges, Bergen and London (in 1266 King Henry III gave the Hamburg traders the right to trade in London) many towns were established on the North Sea and the Baltic coasts and on navigable rivers to powerful Hanseatic cities. Thus in 1237 Elbing near Danzig became a permanent settlement. The main features of a Hanseatic cog dating from the 13th and 14th centuries are straight, slanting stem and stern posts, a single mast with square sail, a forecastle and stern gallery and a rudder fixed to the stern post. Cogs with a capacity of 100 to 200 tonnes were used both as merchant ships and warships. From the middle of the 14th century the first guns were used on ships, including in Northern Europe. Navigation was done by the sun, the stars and the sounding lead. At the end of the 14th century the cog was superseded by the hulk.

What's that? I don't believe it! Suddenly, there is the outline of a strange ship. How is that possible? A luminous pirate ghost ship? This luminous pirate vessel brings to mind old legends and stories-of pirates' flags, black sails, deadly guns and the terrifying shine. The Jolly Roger pirate ship that shines in the dark.

The German Navy's famous sail training ship was introduced into service on 17.12.1958. This barque was named after the writer Johann Kinau who was well known under the pseudonym "Gorch Fock", and who fell in 1916 at the battle of the Skagerak. The Gorch Fock is the fifth ship of this class, her sister ships were built during the thirties and served various nations. Home part of the ship is Kiel, Schleswig-Holstein. The Gorch Fock has a displacement of 1.870 tonnes and a sail area of 2.037 square metres. Her cruising speed with diesel auxiliary engines amounts to 10 knotes. The manning consists o 76 regular crew members and approximately 200 officer tarinees. The work of the Gorch Fock encompasses the theoretical and practical training in seamanship of officers and sub-officer as well as "showing the Flag" and public relations work. She also takes part regulary in international meetings and regattas.
