Rare guest in the Kiel: The Cap San Diego, the largest operational museum cargo ship in the world, reached Kiel on August 6th, 2022 after a voyage from Rendsburg through the Kiel Canal and had been in the port of Kiel on the Sartorikai for a few days. On August 11th it’s time to say goodbye to Cap San Diego again. The 159 meter long museum cargo ship from 1961 had left its berth at Kiel’s Sartorikai at 11 a.m. and sailed through the Kiel Canal with the destination for the day being Rendsburg. On Friday, the Cap San Diego will then continue to Brunsbüttel and leave the Kiel Canal with the destination Überseebrücke in the port of Hamburg.
