SHIP REALMS
For the new permanent exhibition Ship Realms – The Ocean and Us at the German Maritime Museum (Deutsches Schifffahrtsmuseum) in Bremerhaven, a series of interactive media exhibits have been developed spread across the main exhibition areas: Environment, Physics, Equipment, Research and Shipbuilding.
CHART TABLE
Nautical charts have changed in form and purpose over the last century. Initially, they were purely representations of voyage routes, but over time, more and more data was integrated into the charts. The example of four expedition charts illustrates this development. A digital magnifying glass allows visitors to playfully explore the routes of the expeditions and the data visualized on the maps.
WATER – pH VALUE
An important area of research is the pH value of seawater, which has changed over the past few decades. An interactive water tank allows visitors to learn about the pH of various liquids by pumping CO₂ into the tank at the touch of a button.​​​​​​​ The pH changes are then put in perspective on the screen. Even much smaller changes in pH have had drastic consequences.
LAUNCHING
At the end of the shipbuilding process, ships are launched. The launching of a ship was a social event 100 years ago. Original footage of several of these historic events was recomposed to give an atmospheric insight into the occasion.
