[NL]
De Cornelia Maersk was een Deens stoomschip dat in 1942 op weg van Rotterdam naar Kopenhagen gebombardeerd werd en zonk. Het schip werd op 17 april 1925 te water gelaten en was 85,5 meter lang en 12,20 meter breed. Het scheepswrak lag op 10 tot 17 meter diepte in één van de toekomstige havens van Maasvlakte 2, de uitbreiding van de Rotterdamse haven. Om verder te kunnen met de aanleg van de nieuwe havens die tot 20 meter diep worden, haalde de aannemer de wrakstukken in kleine brokstukken naar boven.
De krukas van de stoommachine en het anker hebben een plaats bij het haven informatiecentrum Futureland gekregen met zicht op de APM (Maersk) terminal.
