从港口、
历史船舶、
船厂、
海事博物馆、
仓库、
码头到港湾空间，
我观察德国如何保存海事文化遗产，
并让这些曾经服务贸易、
航运与港口运作的设施，
持续成为城市文化与公共记忆的一部分。
这里不仅记录一艘船、
一座港口或一间博物馆，
也记录围绕它们形成的海事生态，
包括港口历史、
造船工业、
航运技术、
志愿协会、
文化保存与公众教育。
从仍然航行的百年船舶，
到保存完整的港区与历史建筑，
我记录德国如何透过海事文化遗产，
理解港口的发展，
认识城市的形成，
并延续人与海洋之间数百年的联系。

From ports,
historic ships,
shipyards,
maritime museums,
warehouses,
docks and waterfronts,
I explore how Germany preserves its maritime cultural heritage,
transforming places once built for trade,
shipping and harbour operations into living spaces of culture,
education and public memory.
This series is not only about individual ships,
ports or museums,
but also about the maritime ecosystem surrounding them,
including port history,
shipbuilding,
navigation,
volunteer organisations,
heritage conservation and public engagement.
From century-old vessels still in operation
to historic harbour districts and preserved industrial landscapes,
this fieldwork documents how Germany’s maritime heritage helps explain the development of its ports,
the growth of its cities,
and the enduring relationship between people and the sea.

从安徽寿县黄歇墓出发，我一路被水追着，也一路追着水，走进德国的河流、港口与历史船。这不是一篇介绍船舶的文章，而是一段关于锚、船舵、明轮、远洋客轮、港口，以及流动文明的田野记录。我后来才发现，不是我选择了海事文化，而是水选择了我。
