The Elbe around 1850. Detail from a painting by Lüder Arenhold from 1906

The Elbe ( Danish Elben ) was a war schooner of the Royal Danish Navy or the Schleswig-Holstein Navy . The ship was named after the Elbe .

history

The Elbe was put into service as Elben for the Royal Danish Navy in 1832 and served as a guard ship on the Elbe in front of the Altona , which was then Danish .

In March 1848, it was launched , and on April 3, 1848 by the Schleswig-Holstein Navy as a training ship put into service. Details from the service operations are not known; the schooner, like the steamer Bonin and some gunboats, belonged to the reserve and was stationed in the Baltic Sea . In March 1851 the Elbe was returned to Denmark after the Schleswig-Holstein Navy was dissolved.

The schooner, presumably renamed Elben again, was decommissioned in 1858 and scrapped in 1866 .
