🚢Lightship Borkumriff

The lightship Borkumriff was commissioned in 1913 and served as a floating lighthouse in the North Sea. It marked the dangerous Borkum Reef and guided ships safely past the shoals. For decades, it was an important part of maritime traffic. After decommissioning, it was preserved as a museum ship. Today it lies in the harbor of Borkum and can be visited. Visitors learn a lot about life on board, the technology, and the history of North Sea shipping. Cabins, the engine room, and navigation equipment are still intact. The ship gives a good impression of the harsh life at sea. It is a popular destination for families and history enthusiasts. The lightship symbolizes the maritime tradition of the region.
