Just in time for the 110 year anniversary of the Peking’s launch, the SHMH - Stiftung Historische Museen Hamburg (Hamburg Foundation for Historical Museums) - has created a breathtaking virtual tour of the ship.
Visitors can digitally explore the lavishly restored ship from the upper deck down to the cargo hold. Online exhibitions show the eventful history of the ship through historical photographs and film excerpts from a 1929 voyage around Cape Horn.
While you’re there, you can also check out the exhibition Rolling Home, which documents Peking's return to Hamburg’s port on 7 September, 2020 with pictures and film clips.
