Archives: Photographs
The photographic collection includes well over 100.000 individual prints, about 12.000 original negatives and 15.000 repro-negatives. On top of this there are countless photographs in albums and other bundles of prints.
Most of the photographs show individual ships of all types as well as several harbour views. The remaining pictures document shipbuilding, fishing, the navy, sport and leisure shipping as well as the living and working world on board. The main emphasis is on the development of steam and motor-powered shipping in the twentieth century.
Many of the pictures originate from photographs taken on board, from work archives or professional photographs in the ports and shipyards.
