- former fishing vessel built after WWII with an engine and a tiny rig only.
- after decommisioning she was rigged as a ketch and used for sailing with guests in the Baltic Sea using Kiel, later Wismar and finally Greifswald as baseport.
- the lack of maintainance led to deteriorated condition, in spring 2020 sunken at the quay in Greifswald, broken up on the end of the summer 2020.
