Built as a freighter in 1898, she has been working for more than a hundred years. She later served as a living ship and was rebuilt as a passenger vessel in 1992.
Her interior is of a high standard and she sleeps 24. She suits active trips for small groups particularly well, whether for a day or a week, and usually sails the North Sea and the islands off Denmark.
Her engine was replaced in 2016. She was sold in the 2020s and renamed Albatros.
