In Germany, an old submarine, the U-boot U17, was transported by road to the Technik Museum in Sinsheim, a technology museum! The U17, which is an impressive 48 meters long and 450 tons, was withdrawn from service after
37 years of operations and is now being displayed at the museum.
Transporting the submarine was a gigantic operation that lasted 15 months and covered more than 650 kilometers. To ensure it reached its destination, it was necessary to close highways, remove signs and even use a special 30-axis platform! The total cost of the project was approximately 2 million euros, financed by donations.
In 2025, the submarine will be open for viewing, allowing everyone to explore its interior! A real logistics adventure to preserve a piece of history.
