The day of the Lodsen

"Explore the exciting world of the prize." A free arrangement for the whole family then there is again a good reason to visit Dragør Havn and the Danish pilot Museum. Saturday, 27. In July, the volunteers from the Danish Pilot Museum return to the square in front of the museum to share the world of the pilots before and now. The event is for all curious children and adults who want to know more about life at sea and life as a pilot. And there is enough to experience this summer Saturday. With a nice seafader book, children can become "full-fledged" sailor, by participating in the many exciting activities: You can lift an anchor, find the gebis of the ticket, go on a treasure hunt, navigate a ship on a port model, link knots, make your own ticket model, get a Sailor's tattoo, learn to Morse, hoist flags on the old ice boat of the pilots, make a pilot flag, throw a line, watch movies about the work of the Lodsen, take a "boat trip" with the simulator, and much more. Fill in your shipping book and maybe you're lucky and win a prize. There is also the possibility for adults to hear about the work of the pilots and the many ships passing through the sound and about how difficult a waterway is to sail. The pilots have saved many ships from the shipwreck over the years, and the pilots ' volunteers are good for a story or two about sailing on the strait. As something new, this year you can see how far the volunteers have come with the restoration work on the old Lodsboat Ravnen from 1880. On the day there is free access to the museum, which is Denmark's oldest pilotage station, which stands as when the pilots celebrated the 300 anniversary in 1984. At the museum you can see the exhibition "The everyday life of the pilots" about the work of the weights around the 1980s and the completely modern solder still working from Dragør Havn. We look forward to welcoming many happy families at the Danish Pilot Museum, which is part of the state-recognized Amager Museum. "The day of Lodsen" at Dragør Harbour on Saturday 27.
