Building method

The Cap San Diego is a conventional and had as such both over load trees and crane six loading hatches leads to the loading spaces, which order over up to three tween decks, in which partly also sweet oils was transported. Since the ship for the South America travel was built, it has also (later inserted) refrigerating chambers.

History

The Cap San Diego was built of the shipping company Hamburg south 1961 as last ship of a series of identically constructed Together with its five sister ships it served the route Hamburg - South America and transported among other things machines, chemicals and automobiles toward southwest and coffee, meat, textiles, sweet oils and fruit juice concentrate toward northeast"… and also living pregnant cows, which often calved to enough during the passage to South America (to the large hello of the crew and the passengers). The charge back was often vervollstandigt in Buenos Aires by cow skins, those individually (!) in the lower loading spaces spread and eingesalzen became. One can imagine the immense quantity, those into such a Ladedeck fit and the associated expenditure of time. This given of the crew downtimes up to 14 days in Buenos Aires, again! About it the crews could only dream after introduction of the containers. The fleet was called also "“Cap San row"” and/or "“Cap San class"”, because the name of each ship began with "“Cap San"”. The six ships were called because of their elegant form also the white swans of the south Atlantic.

In the 80's more and more by container ships were displaced. 1986 waited the Cap San Diego finally for the scrapping. It was bought up, reconditioned and adapted to the use as museum ship and meeting center and lies today as museum ship at the overseas bridge in range of vision of the Rickmer Rickmers and that Hamburg memory city. It is today seaworthy until and runs out each year to the "“guest travel"” after Cuxhaven. Since 1 December 2003 the Cap San Diego stands under monument protection.

The museum

The Cap San Diego represents the high point of the mechanized building of cargo ships in Germany, with which in freight shipping career profiles developed a maximum development of most on board to be observed are. The Cap San Diego represents thus a turning point from mechanized handserved shipping to the more automated to served shipping with simultaneous decrease of the manufacturing depth in Germany.

The museum of the Cap San Diego shows various drawing of a bill beside the ship and has rentable meeting areas.
