Riverboats - Germany: books - history and ships
A book about German inland vessels? Here you will find books about barges on the Danube, Elbe, Havel, Rhine, Spree, Weser and other rivers and canals.
Frachtschiffe - Binnenschifffahrt auf europäischen Wasserstrassen (Typenkompass)
Thousands of cargo and tanker ships travel the European waterways, the size of which only becomes apparent when one of them moors at the shore.
Large quantities of goods can be transported with little energy and personnel, far more than with trains and trucks with the same engine power.
In addition, ship propulsion systems are producing fewer and fewer pollutants, and new fuels such as natural gas are being tested.
