In 1945 the ship was on the Danube by the US forces seized and Suzi Q. mentioned. In the post-war period, the Suzi Q. served as a floating establishment in Linz. In 1953 it was purchased for regular services on the Traunsee and named after Rudolf Ippisch senior, who had operated ships on the Traunsee since 1909.
