decommissioned
after 94 years on duty and laid up in Holbæk. The new owner was
Christian Egelborgs Fabrikker, who bought the lightship to use it
as a residential ship for their foreign workers, but plans failed,
because they could not find a berth for the lightship. During this
time the lightship lost its mast and light, because the Danish lightship
authority sold their lightships to private owners only without the
mast and lamp |

Today the English tug CHRISTINE towed the lightship through the
Kiel Canal to Copenhagen. Photos can be found here

The lightship can be found in Copenhagen (Refshaleøen) today and

fire brigade had to pump the water logged ship out. Here
you can find a report with pictures from the Danish Fire Brigade.
