Hanseatic cog “Ubena von Bremen” at sea, by Jürgen Teute

The “Ubena von Bremen” is a replica of a 14th-century Hanseatic cog found in the mud of the Weser in 1962. The sensational find was rebuilt piece by piece (more than 2,000 individual parts) in the German Maritime Museum in Bremerhaven, measured and preserved for posterity over a period of 15 years in a preservation bath (800,000 litre capacity with a mixture of water and polyethylene glycol) and has since been open to the public.
