Die vier Leben eines Dampfschleppers

Abstract: In June 2005 the Hanseatic city of Rostock was informed by the "Landesamt zur Regelung offener Vermögensfragen Mecklenburg-Vorpommern" (Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania Regional Office for Settling Open Questions of Inheritance) in Greifswald that the steam-tug SATURN, which had been in a shipping museum for over 25 years, had been promised to the Munich-based heir of the person entitled to it because the latter had since died. This occurrence presented an occasion to examine the previous history of the vessel. The tug was built in 1907 at the Hamburg Schiffswerft und Maschinenfabrik AG for the local shipping company of the Gebrüder Wulff, and was given the name GEBR. WULFF IV. It was a typical small tug of the type frequently used in harbours at that time. Before World War II the tug was sold to Stettin. A ship-owner by the name of Herbert Tibow had purchased the vessel. In January 1945 the ships from the Tibow company were loaded with army cargo and sent off in a convoy to Lübeck. I
