| BREMEN VEGESACK (GERMANY). 'Festival Musik Maritim 2012.'
Bremen-Vegesack lies on the River Weser and has a great maritime tradition: the first ever artificial port was
created in Vegesack. The place was the port of registry for many whalers and was home to the biggest herring
fleet in Northern Europe. The Captain houses, shipyards and maritime trade & industry give character to this
northern district of Bremen. The maritime inheritance is still alive and during the festival weekend the
riverside echoes to the sounds of sea songs and shanties from bands from all over Europe.
