History

Claus Bolten was built as yard number 219 by Schiffbau-Gesellschaft Unterweser m.b.H, Wesermünde, Germany.[1] She was launched on 25 September 1937 and completed on 17 December. She was built for the Cuxhavener Hochseefischerei, Cuxhaven.[1] The Code Letters RGCK were allocated,[2] as was the fishing boat registration HC 186. On 8 March 1929, she was sold to the Deutsche Hochsee Fischerei Bremen-Cuxhaven AG.[1] On 22 January 1932, she was one of seven trawlers that put in to Reyjkjavík, Iceland having been damaged by severe weather. Claus Bolten had her funnel carried away.[3] In 1934, her Code Letters were changed to DHED.[4]

On 18 June 1940, Claus Bolten was requisitioned by the Kriegsmarine for use as a vorpostenboot. She was allocated to 2 Vorpostenflottille as V 213 Claus Bolten.[1] On 28 June 1944, she was sunk in the English Channel north west of Saint-Malo, Ille-et-Vilaine, France (48°41′N 2°05′W) in an engagement with HMS Eskimo and HMCS Huron.[1] V 209 Carl Röver was severely damaged and the minesweeper M 4611 was sunk in the engagement.[5]
