Regina (Schiff)

The Regina is a former shipyard tugboat that now stands as a technical monument on the Maritime Mile in Bremen-Vegesack. The vessel was built at the Bremer Vulkan shipyard in 1965 and 1966 and was originally used to recover timber and chains from the Weser River after ship launches and to tow the yard's own floating crane. After it was decommissioned in 1987, the MTV Nautilus association thoroughly restored the boat and set it up on the Weser Promenade in 1990. You can tour the historic ship, which at times also served as a clubhouse and amateur radio station. The association is currently debating the monument's future, as the tugboat's condition has deteriorated.
