  • she is one of the last, perhaps the last, kept fishery ewer on the river Elbe, the last ships of that kind were built in 1889.
  • built for the fisherman J. Rübcke from Neuhof/Hamburg in 1889, this family from Hamburg/Altenwerder used the ship until 1950.
  • 1950 sold to Bremerhaven, here she was used in the fishery until 1975.
  • 1975 purchased by the new owner W. Friederichsen, she was restored and re-rigged at the shipyard J. Behrens between 1976-78.
  • when the owner died in 2004 she was presented to the Stiftung Hamburg Maritim.
  • she became a member of the museum port Oevelgönne/Hamburg and since Sept. 2008 she lays in the port of traditional ships (Sandtorhafen) in Hamburg; usually she sails the river Elbe, the Baltic and North Sea.
