Salvage Tug “Seefalke”
The development of the salvage tug Seefalke was an important step in German seafaring history. She not only was the first Diesel salvage tug world wide, she also started the history of German Emergency tow vessels. One of the best known examples of this ship type is the Nordic which today operates from Helgoland.
