Lonely Planet review for Port of Hamburg
Each year about 12,000 ships deliver and take on millions of tonnes of goods here. The port accounts for 12 percent of Hamburg's entire surface area. Two vessels that aren't going anywhere are the 1896 windjammer Rickmer Rickmers, which now serves as a museum and restaurant, and the Cap San Diego, a behemoth built in Hamburg during the 1960s.
To the west of St Pauli, a sturdy grey structure is topped by a giant copper cupola. This striking piece of architecture is the entrance to the St Pauli Elbtunnel, a 426m (1400ft) passage under the river, built in 1911.

Amazing
shlomorosnethal recommends this,
Hamburg port is one of the 10 biggest ports in the world - it is bigger than New York City for instance. They offer tours. DO IT!
You can also use some ferries with your subway ticket - look for the HVV sign.
