Heimkehr History Audiovisual

Cadets set a square sail on the mainmast of the Herzogin Cecilie in 1913.

I'm putting together a unique presentation using the historical timeline from my ebook Heimkehr (back home). Thanks to some pretty cool AI tools, over 400 old images — some over a hundred years old — have been fixed up and colorized, making it feel like you're seeing moments from the past as if they happened just yesterday.

The presentation is a visual journey through an era of fascinating changes and progress, complete with the story of the Herzogin Cecilie, a majestic sailing school ship owned by the German shipping company Norddeutscher Lloyd (now Hapag-Lloyd, in Chile CSAV). This ship sailed from Bremerhaven to Guayacán on the northern coast of Chile, just days before the outbreak of World War

Get ready, Santiago, Chile, because this immersive experience is about to hit your city with a bang! It's going to be presented at a variety of events, and it's going to be amazing!
