Good evening!
First I want to adjust your bulding year of "HELGA" which is 1911. Shipyard is correct.(May be this could help our Dutch and German friends).
I could not find her as "NELLY", but she was original a sailing logger. (I found a dutch vessel named "Helga" built 1913 - Gebr.Boot but this one was sold to U.K. as "Leonard" about the same year as our "Helga" is being registered in Germany)
In my German Coaster books I found her as "HELGA" (c/s RHQN/DIKC/DGPF). Classed by Bureau Veritas.
Here she is said to have been bought from Holland and her ex.name is "NELLY". No more of her Dutch story.
24.07.1930: Registrated as "HELGA". Owner: Jonny Nikolaus Heinrich Knütel, Hamburg.
Tonnage: 118 grt/61 nrt/160 tdw. Dim.: 24,45x6,61 m.
Engine: 2-cyl.Junkers Motoren Bau, Dessau - 70 Bhp (b.1930).
Same owner/particulars until sold to Norway 10.1954.
Greetings from Tønsberg
