The sea rescue boat (SRB) Tamina is a boat of the so-called 7-meter class of the German Society for Rescue of Shipwrecked People (DGzRS), built in 1971 by the Schweers shipyard in Bardenfleth under construction number 6418. The internal name was KRST 20th
Naming
Tamina is a Frisian woman's name; the naming of the boat with this name expresses the attachment of the DGzRS to the German coast.
Technical Equipment
The lifeboat was equipped with radio systems, echo sounder , GPS , external bilge pump and a rescue port.
Like all "real" boats of the 7 m class, the boat had no radar device (further explanation: Kaatje sea rescue boat ).
Stationings
In contrast to most of the other DGzRS lifeboats, the Tamina only had two deployment sites during its service life. After delivery on July 23, 1971, it was stationed on Langeoog for testing until April 1972. From April 17, 1972 until the decommissioning on April 8, 1994 continuously deployed on the DGzRS station on the island of Baltrum .
Whereabouts
After the service with the DGzRS, the boat was handed over to the Büsum spa administration , which made the boat available to the DLRG under the name Büsum . After a few years in which the boat was not in use, it was sold into private hands in 2001. The new owner renamed the vehicle to the old name Tamina , restored it and restored it to the condition of the 1970s as a roadworthy museum boat.
From summer 2005 to October 3 of that year, the boat was exhibited as part of the exhibition "Out of Storm and Not - 140 Years of Sea Rescue in Germany" in the Focke Museum in Bremen .
