Seen moored in Wallhafen at Lübeck/Germany is this former fishing vessel. She was built in 1944 as Kriegsfischkutter (KFK No.510) for the German Navy and served with 6. Sicherungsflotille at Bremerhaven/Germany until 17/08/44 when she sunk after hitting a mine. After the war she served as a fishing vessel (from 1946 until 1974) and was used for fishing tours from 1974 until 09/2015. Laid up at Strande near Kiel for the next 3 years she was then sold to Poland reportedly and will hopefully have some more active years there.
