The Wreck 'Mariann'
I had been planning to visit the shipwreck in Wenningstedt-Braderup on the island of Sylt for a long time.
You can read about it:
"In the Wadden Sea between Braderup and Munkmarsch, barely 200 metres from the beach, lies the shipwreck of the once proud three-masted schooner "Mariann".
At low tide, the wooden remains are clearly visible.
Anyone thinking of a shipwreck or even pirates may be disappointed when they learn the true story:
In 1961, the ship was towed into Munkmarsch harbour - by two Sylt residents who wanted to open a floating café on it. However, they were refused the necessary licence, so they anchored the ship a little further north between Munkmarsch and Braderup in the Wadden Sea.
Plan B for the pair: Turn the ship into a cabaret! However, the authorities threw a spanner in the works here too: a pier required for this was not approved.
Due to a lack of alternatives, the ship became an unofficial party ship until a fire broke out on board in 1981. The causes were never clarified."
