The Friedeburg ran 1912 the Dutch shipyard of EJ Smit & Zn. As Oldampt in Hoogezand under hull number 490 from the stack . Their size was 211 GRT or approx. 430 tons , the length 33.95 m, the width 7.16 m, the draft 2.94 m. It had an auxiliary engine with an output of 75 hp , which gave it a speed of 4.5 kn , regardless of the wind . On December 7, 1912, it was put into service by Bartels & Co. in Nordenham as Friedeburg . Its name is obviously derived from the medieval Friedeburg near Nordenham.
On September 6, 1916, she was put into service by the Imperial Navy as auxiliary ship F and received two obsolete, outdated 10.5 cm rapid-fire guns for use as a submarine trap . Her code name was Anna , the legendary home port Brake (Unterweser) in the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg . Nothing has been known about their use so far. She was decommissioned on September 12, 1917.
In August 1919 she was managed by Paulsen & Ivers in Kiel and put into service as a Möve . In 1921 she was sold to the Jensen company in Hamburg and renamed Emmy Stein , but already in 1922 she was sold to Lübeck and managed as Erika by the Lieschau company. In 1928 it was sold to Italy and entered service as Vittoriana , but renamed Imperia in 1936 . For reasons unknown, possibly due to fighting during the Second World War , it sank in Tripoli / Libya on April 23, 1943 . The Imperia was lifted again on January 15, 1954 and again put into service under the Italian flag as Titti Andalo . It is said to have been canceled around 1982.
