A former fishing boat that worked herring in the Kattegat and later salmon in the waters around Bornholm, with spells carrying goods between the island of Samsø and Copenhagen.
Her sturdy build let her fish in weather that kept lighter boats in harbour — exactly what the Isefjord type was made for.
Homeported in Flensburg, she was moved to Hamburg for a major overhaul around 2005 that ran until roughly 2017. She was listed for sale in 2025.
