Barrel bojer

Two buoy around 1770

In the 18th century, a buoy was a ship with which sea buoys or beacons were brought into the fairway in the spring of Lower Germany. In the autumn, the navigation marks were then collected again in order not to be damaged when the ice fell.

Today these ships are called buoy layers .
