Happy Birthday Hamburg!!


The Port of Hamburg recently celebrated its birthday--the 821st to be exact. So the major north German harbor city decided to throw a big party.

Cunard's majestic Queen Mary 2 sailed into the port as did tall-masted sailing ships and the French helicopter carrier Jeanne D'Arc. There were over 300 vessels visiting the Hanseatic city on the Elbe for the annual harbor festival in May.

The Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg traces its roots to its historic and still-vibrant commercial contacts among the cities of North Sea and the Baltic.
