Description:
Wertheim/Main April 14th, 1963 (in German: "Möwe")
I connect some childhood memories with this ship. During the late 1940´s she was moored just in front of our home at Rendsburg (Kiel Canal). My parents told me that with this ship a family fled from East Prussia via the Baltic Sea to Northern Germany in 1945 after World War 2. Around 1950 the vessel suddenly disappeared. Someone reported they sailed to southern Germany. In 1963 we met her again at Wertheim, where she stayed for about two years and then disappeared again.
