Acknowledgements

My thanks go to Gerrit Menzel and Philip von Klösterlein on the staff of the International Maritime Museum Hamburg (IMMH) and the photographer Michaela Hegenbarth of Altona Museum Hamburg for their untiring support during the making of the photos for this publication. They assisted in numerous photo sessions over several months. I am also indebted to other staff members of the IMMH not mentioned here for their help during the production process of the manuscript.

And, last but not least, I should like to thank Prof. Peter Tamm, who over decades collected prisoner of war bone ship models built during the period of the Napoleonic Wars. This passion led to a collection that is unique worldwide and by far the largest exhibited in a museum. This book project is based on his initiative.
