Peking (Post-)Kolonial – Eine Geschichte eines Hamburger Wahrzeichens

In the organizer's words:

The four-master PEKING was active in the saltpetre trade from 1911 to 1932. Saltpetre is a raw material that was brought from the Atacama Desert in Chile to Hamburg, where it was processed into fertilizers, paints and explosives. While the raw material was a profitable business for some people, it was also linked to processes of exploitation. On the first Sunday of every month, this tour provides information about Hamburg's (post-)colonial past, present and the people involved. From working conditions on board and in the saltpetre mines to the story(s) of Hamburg merchants, the museum ship PEKING aims to tell history in a variety of ways.
