All aboard the Captains Schiff
Issue 4: Nautical dream ship anchors itself in the middle of a Neuallermöhe park.
A Hanseatic city needs a nautical playground
This much I know to be true. Hamburg is a massive port along the Elbe, where goods have come and gone from present-day Germany for hundreds of years. The sea runs through the veins of this weeks playground. This wonky and askew wooden construction was full of neat details that caused me to lose sight of the big picture, I’m excited to share.
If you’re looking at the newsletter online, you’ll be seeing a new theme! Let me know how it looks with a comment!

The real imagination grabber here is this wee boat. How did it get here? Maybe it was carried inland during one of the great floods. Maybe tis’ but an homage to the salty Northern folks and the water that brings them Fischbrotchen.

More ropes and details
This week I’m reminded once again that the world isn’t always a fun place.
I didn’t feel much like writing as I steeped in the news and aftermath of the pre-fascist entanglement in Washington. But as I sat around making the least of my last Sunday of unemployment, I remembered why I decided to make this little letter in the first place.
Things aren’t always fun, and I hope to encourage myself and others each week that we can’t stop imagining something a bit better than what we find ourselves living in today.
Thanks for reading, be nice to one and other.
