decommissioned after 99 years on duty and sold to the artist Bo
Bonfils and his wife Jane Reumert from Copenhagen for the price
of 201.878,11 Danish Kroner. This price was made up from 20,000
Danish Kroner for the lightship, plus the year of construction
(1878) and the number of the lightship (no. 11). The new owner
was surprised, when he took over the lightship and the light and
the ships name, made of valuable bronze letters, had been removed.
If lightships in Denmark after decommission are sold to private
owners the Danish Lighthouse Society normally removes this things,
so that the shipping could not be confused. But he got everything
back and removed the engines to use the lightship as a houseboat.

Mr. Bonfils spent 1 milllion Danish Kroner to give the lightship
a superstructure, which he used as gallery and studio

|
sold to the new owner Niels Olaf Ehrenskiöld from the GORI-group,
but the lightship stayed there just for a short time
|
| 1995-1999 |
Mr. Thorkild Rose and his wife used the lightship as a houseboat
during the summer month
|
|
July 22nd, 1999 |
A Swiss/Danish couple, Mr. and Mrs. Spalinger, bought
the lightship and used it as a houseboat in the Frederiksholm
Canal in Copenhagen. The lightship is one of the best preserved
lighthsips in Denmark and may be worth some one million Danish
Kroner
