Semaphor & Leuchtturm am Zoo
The City of Bremerhaven about the Semaphore: A semaphore is an optical wind indicator that was an important source of information in the days before the introduction of electronic communication. In 1893, such a device, almost 20 meters high, was installed next to the Hohe Weg lighthouse (1856) in the Weser estuary. It indicated the wind force and direction to passing shipping. Two 4.5 meter long pointers described the wind direction, six 1.5 meter long pointers indicated wind force 1-12, with one pointer representing two wind forces. The semaphore was decommissioned in 1972 and the lighthouse was automated a year later. In 1976, the heavily rusted indicator had to be dismantled. Important parts were stored in the German Maritime Museum (DSM) in Bremerhaven. On the initiative of the Bremerhaven Maritime History Society, the city had the semaphore reconstructed for “Sail 2005” using the original parts from the German Maritime Museum and set up at the northern pier at the entrance to the New Harbour. Every two hours, the German Weather Service transmits the current wind data for Borkum and Helgoland, which the semaphore then displays. – City of Bremerhaven
