The restaurant (in the Schnoor district in Bremen) had quite the collection of strange liquor and wine bottles. Not sure what was in these (some sort of liquor, but don't know which), but I kinda liked the shape. (The second one from the left says "Forest Raspberry Spirit", so there's that.)

This was an inadvertently amusing sight, given that I was in Bremen on a business trip related to NASA's Orion spacecraft (which has a similar overall shape).

Hatch - this one was over the galley area, and appears to have extra rails and a skidplate on the left, presumably for taking supplies in and out.

Engine room. The large pipes and ducts above the diesel engines are apparently the high-pressure air lines used to blow out the dive tanks.
