The Etta von Dangast is a sea bathing ship . She was built in Norway in 1935 as the Roald Jarl steam tug and has an eventful history: confiscated in 1941 and used as a tug ( Schwalbe , Zukunft ), it was converted into a passenger ship in 1956 ( Langeoog I , Harlesand ). It has been operating from Dangast to the Jade Bay and the North Sea since 1982 .
Construction and technical data
The ship was built in Trondheim in 1935 as a steam tug; there is no information about the shipyard or the shipping company. Originally the ship was 24.37 meters long, 5.00 meters wide and had a draft of 0.80 meters. The ship was measured at 30 GRT and was propelled by a compound steam engine of unknown power. In 1948 the steam engine was replaced by a diesel engine from Güldner , which produced 125 hp and brought the ship to a speed of 8 knots .
In 1956 it was converted into a passenger ship at the Jadewerft in Wilhelmshaven . The dimensions changed to 26.27 meters in length, 5.04 meters in width and a draft of 1.00 meters and it was re-measured with 89 GRT. The speed has been 10.0 knots since then. In 1968 the ship received a Deutz diesel engine with 200 hp. The ship is now approved for 145 passengers. Its name comes from the wife of the medieval Friesian chief Edo Wiemken (attested from 1382; † 1415).
history
After completion, the shipyard delivered the ship in 1935 to a Norwegian shipping company unknown by name. The ship's home port was Trondheim. Due to the small size of the ship, the intended use or routes traveled must have been in the vicinity of the port. After the German occupation of Norway ( Operation Weser Exercise ), the Wehrmacht confiscated the ship and took it to Hamburg as a swallow in September / October 1941 . The Royal Navy confiscated it there in 1945 after the end of the war and sold it to the Paul-Franz Sanowski company in April 1948. This had the steam engine replaced by a diesel engine and used the future renamed ship in Hamburg as a tug .
In February 1956, the company sold the ship to the island shipping company Langeoog . The shipping company had it converted into a passenger ship for 186 passengers at the Jadewerft in Wilhelmshaven and put it into operation as Langeoog I for liner operations between the island and Bensersiel . After twelve years, she sold the ship on March 20, 1968 to the Warrings shipping company in Wittmund - Carolinensiel . Waarings replaced the previous engine with a Deutz diesel engine with 200 hp. The ship was named Harlesand and ran in liner service between Harlesiel and Wangerooge until 1981 .
Todays use
In 1981 Anton Tapken acquired the ship, with which he has been offering trips from the Dangast harbor as captain shipowner since 1982 . From spring to autumn he offers excursions to the Jade Bay and the Wadden Sea almost every day with the seaside resort ship . The program includes trips to Wilhelmshaven through the naval port, the lock, the Kaiser Wilhelm swing bridge and a tour of the lightship Weser , trips to the seal banks in the Wadden Sea of the Jade Bay and watching seals and net fishing. The "Great Jade Tours" lead to the lighthouse, the tanker bridge and the naval port. The ship can also be chartered.
