Schwimmdampfkran 'Saatsee'

There is a floating steam crane among the beautiful old sailing ships and other oceanic veterans in the museum harbour in Ovelgonne. Its name is Saatsee and it has reached its final destination here after more than 60 years of travelling and working on the canal between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea, because it became an exhibit of the Museum of Work. There is still a great deal going on aboard the steam crane. You can visit it and find out a lot of interesting facts about the life and work aboard the historic machine. There are guided tours and steam shows from April to October. If you don't get seasick, you can enjoy a nice cup of tea at the cafe which is located in an old launch boat at the same berth. Admission is EUR 1.5 for adults; reduced tickets cost EUR 1 and a ticket for the entire family costs EUR 3.
