The story of Rügen
The ferry Rügen was only used for some very few mine laying operation in the Baltic Sea. In July 1918 it was used as a floating barrack for the U-boat school. In 1919 it was returned to its civilian duty as a Seebäderschiff. During World War II it was used as an ambulance ship, first in the North Sea, from 1942 on in the Baltic Sea. Taken over by the Soviet Union in 1946 it was renamed Ivan Susanin and used until 1960
