International Maritime Museum Hamburg

The "International Maritime Museum" in Hamburg (IMMH) has one of the largest collections of

Bone Ship Models in the world. The models were mostly made around the turn of the 18th to the

19th century by Prisoners of War confined in British prisons. The models are arranged in the

treasure room of Deck 8. In a corner of this department (a), a replica of a part of a prison hulk with

two incarcerated men building a bone model ship, gives the impression of the harsh living

conditions of POW's during Napoleonic War times.
