Formerly a Dutch fishing trawler (ex Marie, KW 40) was a German Ost-Reval flotilla guardship with the designation ORe-35. In 1943 the germans used the ship to trawl for mines in Tallinn Bay and so it sank on the 24th of May in 1943. The ship was built in 1916 in Maasluij ship factory. The displacement of the ship was 127 brt. and it lays on 29m. The strong explosion has distorted the whole forward and middle section of the ship.
