The ship <i>Ebenhaëzer</i> with its identifier <i>ZK 14</i> (left) in the harbour of Zoutkamp, The Netherlands. It was owned by Betto and Maarten Bolt. The picture is probably made in 1932 and was published in a contemporary local Dutch newspaper (publication date and newspaper title on the press-clipping not noted, sadly). According to the picture's legend (in Dutch language) the ship was used by shell fishermen (Dutch language: mosselvischkers) indicated by baskets aboard ship. At the beginning of the 1930s the ship was already shabby when the German writer, taleteller and progressive pedagogue Martin Luserke (1880–1968) bought it in February 1934. Completely restored, renovated in white colour and developed as an auxiliary motor vessel it served as his floating poet's workshop named <i>Krake</i> (= octopus) until the end of 1938 while its identifier <i>ZK 14</i> was still on its gaff sail. On 18 June 1944 the ship was destroyed by an Allied bomb on wharf in Hamburg-Finkenwerder.
