Seefahrt Ist Not!

Seefahrt ist not!

by Gorch Fock

In 'Seefahrt ist not!', Gorch Fock paints a vivid portrait of life on the Elbe Island of Finkenwerder near Hamburg in the late 19th century. Through the eyes of young Klaus Mewes, called 'Störtebeker,' we experience the harsh realities of life as a fisherman during the early days of industrialization. Klaus longs to follow in his father's footsteps, while his mother, Gesa, fears the dangers of the sea and the countless families left behind by lost fishermen. The story explores the conflict between their dreams, the perils of the sea, and the changing tides of a world leaving behind traditional ways.
