- A district's complete change of purpose
- Industrial history on the waterfront
- A short, unusual harbour walk
About this tour
This session walks Noblessner from a surviving section of its original submarine factory to the redeveloped marina it now surrounds. You see the industrial brick that marks its earlier military use, then the waterfront that has since grown up around it. It is a short look at one district's complete change of purpose.
I start with a sound check at the factory wall, then walk toward the marina, answering questions as the waterfront comes into view. A short note on the site's redevelopment follows by message afterwards.
It suits anyone interested in industrial history or waterfront redevelopment. It also pairs well with a seaplane harbour session.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
