The story of Prinz Adalbert
This ship was one of a group of three ferries which were assinged as mine layers in August 1914. Prinz Adalbert, also named Hilfsstreuminendampfer B, operated in the Baltic Sea until November 1918. Renamed Bürgermeister Smidt, it returned to its original duty as a ferry after the war and was scrapped in 1929.
