The Ol Büsum was delivered in 1966 as Langballigau by the Husum shipyard for the Flensburg Fjord shipping company .

history

The ship was launched in the year of the centenary of motorized shipping. To celebrate this occasion, her transfer trip was continued with invited guests after the shipyard delivery from Kiel , most recently on the route on which the Seemöve from 1865, the first passenger steamer of the Fördeschiffahrt, had been used. The Langballigau was an extended version of the Glücksburg design from 1959, following the lines of which several ships had been built for the Förde shipping company since then.

In contrast to its predecessors, it had a transom and from the beginning a larger saloon on the otherwise open upper deck, in order to be able to provide a larger number of weather-protected seats on longer journeys. Due to its more powerful engine, it was the fastest excursion ship on the fjord when it was launched in February 1966. In 1976 she got the chimney mark of the I / S-Union after the Jürgensby was released from the charter of this shipping company. The Langballigau was the first ship that was used on the then new route from Flensburg via Glücksburg and Langballigau to Ærøskøbing .

On October 8, 1976, the Langballigau was involved with the Hansa von EH Rasmussen in the recovery of the passengers of the Danish ferry Gelting . This ran aground and leaked after a navigation error on the Poels reef off Als . In response to the SOS, the nearby haulage vessels set course for the damaged vessel and recovered 235 of 237 passengers. Two passengers had to be flown to a hospital by helicopter.

In 1977 the Langballigau was sold to Hans Georg Rahder and Willy Mordhorst in Büsum . They renamed them Ol Büsum . Under this name, the ship for the Nordsee Touristik KG started its excursion traffic from Büsum. In 1988 HG Rahder was registered as the sole owner. In 1992 the Ol Büsum got a new machine system. 2013 she was involved again on the assistance to a stranded ship as she 134 passengers from the west of the bush on sandy Trischen accrued Lady of Büsum took over and brought to Büsum. She was used by the shipping company Rahder in the Wattenfahrt. After the shipping company Rahder was taken over by the shipping company Adler- Schiff via the subsidiary German Fast Ferry GmbH & Co.KG in January 2019, cooperation with the shipping company Cassen Eils and the establishment of the joint company Adler & Eils GmbH took place in February 2019 & Co. KG, Büsum.
