Boats

- Sailing ship types are created from combinations of masts, topsails and square sails and have been optimised for speed, operability and economy.
- Ten main types, from single-masted cutters to full-rigged ships and four-masted barques, show different mixtures of square and square-rigged sails.
- Barques, full-rigged ships and four-masted barques characterised cargo shipping; some are used today as training ships or floating monuments.

Propulsion of the future: Are offshore charging points for e-boats getting closer?

Elektroboote

- Daimler used early motorboats such as the "Rems" and the showboat "Marie" to publicise its light internal combustion engine.  
- Despite scepticism towards land vehicles, demonstrations, advertising stunts and the export of motorboats and engines ensured commercial success.  
- Between 1888 and 1898, 87 motorboats were built; "Marie" for Bismarck became the model for many boats and is the only surviving example of this era.

The special boat: Pioneer motorboat "Marie" was to popularise the Daimler engine

- The Alster steamer St. Georg (built in 1876) had to be repaired in a temporary shipyard in Hamburg-Barmbek due to two leaks in the hull.
- Specialists are replacing damaged hull plates over a period of around ten days, while local residents watch the work and are informed about the history and preservation of the ship.
- The restored steamboat, formerly the Falke, Galatea and Deutschland, has been sailing on the Alster again since 1994 and is looked after by the donor-funded association.

- The 38 metre long steam yacht "Cangarda" (built in 1901) was restored in Istanbul and transferred to the Rahmi Koç Museum as a museum exhibit.  
- RMK Yachts opted for conservation rather than modernisation, preserving the original structure, interior and steam drive largely in accordance with museum standards.  
- The rare steam system was overhauled true to the original with the help of Tüpraş engineers; a documentation on the history is expected to be published in 2026.
