The Misdroy was the third ship of the young shipping company, after the Dievenow , which was commissioned in 1852 and the Princess Royal Victoria that followed in 1857 , and was used like this from Stettin to Swinoujscie and the seaside resorts on the Pomeranian Islands.
In 1900 it was sold to the Szczecin shipping company W. Kunstmann , where it was used as a freighter and tug, primarily to transport Swedish iron ore from Szczecin across the Oder. In 1906 the Międzyzdroje was classified as an inland waterway and was then canceled in the same year.
