The ship was built in 1895, where it was used as a lighthouse vessel for the first 24 years at Helsingør. After that, it served at Gedser Rev until 1972. Since then, it has been a museum vessel in different harbors. Since 2018 it has been back in Helsingør, where it started its service. In 2003, it went through a major restauration at Hvide Sande Shipyard.
