Sponsors of the Shipbuilding and Seafaring Museum Rostock

Rostock Sailors (registered association)
Sailors who once sailed across the oceans on the ships of the German sea shipping company Rostock are the most important eyewitnesses for us, because they can bring their personal experience to what is displayed in the museum.
In 1996, former sailors founded an association with the aim of maintaining maritime traditions in general and of preserving the history of the German sea shipping company Rostock in particular. As former Type IV sailors, their primary focus was on the 10,000-ton DRESDEN, both as a technical monument and as a museum ship.
The members of the association support exhibition projects of the museum and help with conservation work. Along with other supporters, they made it possible to purchase a new ship's bell and an electric tyfon, and supported the radar on the bridge to get a new screen. On various occasions, the association members also take care of the flags of the museum vessel and are happy to answer questions from the visitors of the ship.
The members of the association meet regularly to chat about old times, to discuss the present and to make plans for the future.
On the 4th of October 2010, the association decided to open up to all sailors - whether former or present.
