ZUVERSICHT ex-NORDENHAM ex-PEGU, built 1892 Rickmers Schiffbau AG, Geestemünde (Yd 88?) was sent to Norway in 1945 for Seetransportchef Norwegen, according to Skipet

Then confiscated as enemy property and stayed in Norway after the war, though converted to a cargo vessel by 1950

Mainly I am looking for a photo of her as a tug in Germany 1892-1945. I've not found any yet.

But also can anyone clarify how she was dealt with 1945-1948, or offer any insight about why she seems to have changed hands so frequently in the 1980s.

I think that this photo shows her in tow for the UK in 1992: https://historischer-hafen.de/bilder-sc ... 222896.jpg
And how she was last year for sale as a part-converted live-aboard at Hoo, Kent: https://www.zoopla.co.uk/for-sale/details/61397608/
