The Rastede was a German fishing steamer built in 1907 that served as an outpost boat during World War I. After a marine accident in 1935, the ship was scrapped . The ship was named after the town of Rastede in the Oldenburg district , Grand Duchy of Oldenburg , which was the summer residence of the Oldenburg Grand Dukes at the time .
period of service
The Rastede was probably built on behalf of the J. Wieting shipping company in Bremerhaven . From October 1907 she served there under the fishing license number "BX 71" (BX = Bremerhaven) until the outbreak of war in 1914.
On August 3, 1914, she was already serving as an outpost boat in the port flotilla Jade - Weser . No information is available about the armament. On October 29, 1914, she sank in the Outer Jade by collision; Details are unknown. The Rastede sank, but was raised again and repaired. From March 1, 1915, she served in the outpost flotilla north, from June 7, 1917 in the outpost flotilla west. Apparently, on November 30, 1918, a good three weeks after the armistice of November 11, she was deleted from the list of warships and returned to her shipping company and presumably again had the old code "BX 71".
All that is known about the remaining whereabouts is that from June 16, 1930, the fishing code was " ON 120" (ON = Oldenburgisch Nordenham ), and from September 4, 1934, the code "PG 421" (PG = Prussian Geestemünde ). On October 18, 1935, she collided with the German sailing ship Herzogin Cecilie in the Kattegat five nautical miles north of the Danish lightship Anholt-Knob . While the sailing ship suffered only minor damage, the Rastede was so badly damaged that it was no longer worth repairing. On December 18, 1935, it was handed over to the H. Kubatz company in Wewelsfleth for scrapping.
