  • built in 1925 at the shipyard of O.M. Christensen in Glyngøre/Limfjord as a fishing-boat, fishing in the Skagerrak and Kattegat
  • in the beginning 1930 equipped with a more powerful engine what gave her some advantages of fishing-boats without an engine in speed and usage of the fishing net
  • 1940 change of owner (Strandby), used a fishing-boat later on but without the rigging, fishing of lobsters in the Skagerrak and Kattegat
  • since she was sold in Aalbeck in 1971 there were several owners and the ship had many different names
