1994. it shows photos, models and original items from the great time of Kehdinger coastal shipping, which was once one of the most important branches of industry in the region and the centre of German coastal shipping. Still in the beginning of the 60tis over 260 ships were managed and still today a large part of the modern coastal shipping fleet is being managed from here but the old harbour is not in use anymore.
