European maritime cultural and heritage highlights

Overview

Cultural and maritime heritage is being highlighted through various exhibitions, historical preservation, and artistic installations in European port cities.

In Le Havre, France, the MuMa Le Havre museum hosted an exhibition titled ‘Ocean Liners 1913-1942, a Transatlantic Aesthetic’ to explore the historical significance of transatlantic vessels. This was followed by a street art installation by Guillaume Aubry at Quai de Southampton, which used a periscope to view the industrial port through the artistic lens of Claude Monet’s ‘Impression, Sunrise’ to mark the centenary of the painter’s death.

Other maritime-related activities included the arrival of the Dutch three-masted sailing ship L’Oosterschelde in Bordeaux, which served as a precursor to the Tall Ships Race. In Hamburg, Germany, the Haifisch Bar has been noted as a preserved maritime institution that maintains its original nautical decor amidst the modernization of the Elbstraße harbor area.
