Seute Deern, Former wooden barque, scrapped in 2021, in Mitte, Bremerhaven, Germany

The Seute Deern was a wooden three-masted barque, rebuilt in 1939 at Blohm + Voss in Hamburg from the four-masted schooner Elisabeth Bandi launched in 1919 at Gulfport, Mississippi. Its black hull carried a white stripe with the name painted in white capitals, three tall masts and a network of rigging lines. It sank in Bremerhaven's Old Harbour on 31 August 2019 and was scrapped in spring 2021.

The vessel was built in 1919 in the United States and underwent major modifications in 1938 at a Hamburg shipyard to become a three-mast barque. These alterations transformed it into a working cargo ship for international trade.

The name comes from Low German and means "sweet girl"; the ship carried an oversized figurehead of that name on its stem after the 1938-39 rebuild at Blohm + Voss. The vessel was scrapped in spring 2021 after sinking in the Old Harbour on 31 August 2019, so the figurehead no longer stands on a hull in Bremerhaven.

The ship no longer exists: it sank in the Alten Hafen on 30 August 2019 and was scrapped in spring 2021, so there is nothing to board. The site is the old harbour basin in Bremerhaven-Mitte, next to the Deutsches Schifffahrtsmuseum and the Columbus-Center. Look for the harbour basin itself rather than a gangway.

The ship was scrapped in spring 2021 after sinking at its berth in the Alten Hafen on 30 August 2019, when all six pumps keeping it afloat failed. Experts had judged the damage a "constructive total loss"; scrapping in the harbour was chosen because transport to a shipyard was no longer possible.
