The idyllic Nassau Harbor, with its floating pontoon of the Nassau Bridge, is home to numerous sailboats. The influence of the tides can hardly be observed more vividly than at Nassau Harbor: the pontoon and the boats moored there rise and fall by several meters with the alternating high and low tides. The Nassau Bridge is named after the crew of the SMS Nassau, who were the first to cross it in 1910.
