24T22 A look at Hamburg port-harbour (T18)
E21 (E17)
Travel day 22 is wiped out because not only is there heavy rain, but I need to put down a hacking cough that’s clung on the last couple of days. Thankfully I had the foresight of getting a comfy apartment weeks ago, and picking up groceries at the nearby shop and some medicine at the apothecary yesterday.
This is an opportunity to look back at the evening return on travel day 18 of the Halunder Jet catamaran, from Heligoland to Hamburg.
The cool open breezes over the North Sea have been left behind for the Elbe. The return voyage brings us back into Hamburg’s river harbour and its bustling port facility by the fading light of a warm late-spring day. From childhood proximity to the Port of Vancouver, I’ve always been fascinated by the sights, shapes, and sounds from a harbour and port facility.
The city-state of Hamburg celebrated the 835th anniversary of its harbour in 2024.

Fantastic port pictures! I also love watching the boats. I just got to spend a week in New Orleans and had a hotel room with a view onto the Mississippi and I spent hours watching those same size boats go by. It’s extremely impressive to see them on the river – they are so massive and the river is just not that wide. At night, the traffic keeps up – and those huge container ships do their runs in the dark – they are nearly impossible to see. I highly recommend a river front room if you find yourself in New Orleans!
