In 1904 the ship left what is now the Forum Alte Werft and followed its purpose as a tugboat, later as an icebreaker and, saved from scrapping in 2018, now as a museum ship. The Dortmund IX is one of the oldest surviving ships from the Papenburg Meyer shipyard. It completes the interactive exhibition of the maritime adventure world and forms the starting point of the Papenburg discovery routes.

AIDAmar, Quantum of the Seas, Spirit of Discovery – the names of the cruise ships from the German Meyer shipyard are large, and the list of ships built is long. The people of Papenburg have been building all kinds of ships for almost 225 years - from sailing ships to ocean giants.

In 1904, a steam tug named “Dortmund IX” was launched. To date, it is the second oldest existing ship from Meyer Werft, writes the employee portal activ-online. Only the “Außenjade II”, a lightship, is a little older, built in 1902.
