history
The ship was in 1917 at the shipyard Verenigde Scheepswerf "Vooruit" in Enkhuizen under the hull number 122 laid keel and a sail lugger Waakzaamheid (VL226) for the Visserijmaatschapij Waakzaamheid in Vlaardingen completed. It was one of a series of 15 steel aaks for shellfish and fishing that the shipyard built between 1910 and 1926. In 1923 the ship was sold to PJ de Baare from Breskens , who used it as Catholina (BR20) and fitted it with a Kromhout diesel engine built in 1921 with 50 hp.
In 1941 the German Navy confiscated the Catholina . On July 24, 1946, the owner received his ship back in Delfzijl.
In 1949, a 112 hp Deutz diesel engine built in 1943 replaced the older Kromhout unit. In 1952 the ship was jointly transferred to JA, AJ and PJ de Baare. After a new engine was installed in 1961 , this time a Berliet -MDO.3.M with 150 hp, a sale to CJ Walbroek from Breskens with the renaming of the ship to Klaas (BR29) , which was planned in 1961, did not materialize. Instead, the de Baare brothers sold the ship in April 1964 to JM van Dorpel, who registered it as Wilhelmina (YE138) in Yerseke . In 1966, the ship received a forward-facing cutter stem instead of the previous Aaksteven - the length increased to today's 20.99 meters. In 1969 a Kromhout 12.TV.120 diesel engine with an output of 248 hp replaced the previous engine and in 1971 the brothers A. & W. Sinke from Colijnsplaat acquired the vehicle without renaming it.
In 1973, M. Letsch from Scheveningen took over the Wilhelmina and renamed it Alida Jojanna (SCH138) and the following year the 24-year-old Douwe Amels from Makkum bought the ship and named it Albertina (WON52). In 1976 the ship was sold again, this time to H. Bout from Colijnsplaat, who registered it in Kortgene and used it as Zeearend (KG5) until 1979 , before passing it on to the Nelis brothers, who chose the name Albatros (KG12) . In 1981 the company Van Dienst & Westdorp from Goedereede took over the cutter, named it De Wil en 't Gemoed with the fishing license plate (GO46) and had a Mitsubishi S6 BTK diesel engine with 240 hp installed. After the ship had been transferred to A. van Dienst again in 1983, it retired from commercial shipping in 1985 and was acquired by JAL Jansen-Fijnaart as the Ran GO 46 leisure vehicle . In 1987 the ship received a new engine, a MAN with 340 hp, which is still installed today.
Sea-Watch
After many years of private use and an interim sale to the de Vogel family, Harald Höppner acquired the ship in 2015 from Multiships for the use of the privately financed Sea-Watch project . After a conversion and equipment for medical first aid, a satellite system, life jackets and life rafts, the ship began its journey to the Mediterranean , where the former fishing cutter is used to rescue boat refugees at sea .
Mare Liberum
In 2018 the boat was sold to the Mare Liberum association, which started a monitoring program in the Mediterranean. The new name was Mare Liberum .
