History

August Wriedt was built as yard number 552 in 1930 by Schiffswerft J. Frerichs & Co, Einswarden as a fishing trawler for the Nordsee Deutsche Hochseefischerei.[1][3] She was completed in July 1930.[3] Her port of registry was Nordenham and the Code Letters RHQP were allocated.[2] By 1933, she had been renamed Preußen, and her port of registry was Cuxhaven. Her engine was then rated at 115 nhp.[4] In 1934, her Code Letters were changed to DHBR.[5]

In September 1939, Preußen was requisitioned by the Kriegsmarine, initially serving in the Baltic Sea as Vorpostenboot V 1101 Preußen with 11 Vorpostenflotille, which was under the command of Kapitänleutnant der Reserve Günther Reisen. From January 1940, she served in the North Sea.[1][6] On 14 March 1940, she found part of a torpedo from Шаблон:GS, which had been missing since 20 February, presumed to have been sunk by a mine with the loss of all 41 of her crew.[7] On 5 June 1940, the cargo ship Шаблон:MV struck a mine off Stavanger, Norway and was beached. V 1101 Preußen was one of five vessels that assisted in the salvage of her cargo.[8]
