Seefalke (Falcon of the Sea), 1924

Today, my office was highly popular as it offers a view on the lock between Old and New Harbour. Normally, it's not being opened at all as most of the ships in the Old Harbour belong to the German Maritime Museum and are not going anywhere anymore. But last week, Seute Deern (Sweet Girl), which has been built in 1919, sank. It will cost about 1 million Euro to get her back into her old position, plus 38 million for renovation.

Today, a big swimming crane was brought near Seute Deern, and therefore, Seefalke had to be parked outside the Old Harbour. The ship now lies at anchor between New Harbour and marina, which is a very unusual sight.
Well done!

I enjoy your composition here. I'm wondering if you will have this view of the ship from your office for a while to come. - or is it going to be taken away elsewhere for renovation.

@helenhall Thank you! At the moment, I'm only using 45mm and therefore focus much more on where I stand.
This is not directly in front of my office, but I think it will stay there for approximately one week. This one is not being renovated, and for the wrecked one (Seute Deern) I'm not sure if there is a decision yet. Politicians are at the moment questioning if it is worth spending millions for only one ship.
