Short history.
Meeuw, fishing vessel built 1911 at Oude Pekela Groningen, the Netherlands, for use in coastal waters. The owners, a Dutch fisherman from Termuntenzijl and a German fisherman from Varel, Germany, registrated the ship in Varel (fishery number unknown).
Under sail and power (15hp) she was fishing until the late twenties.
In 1919 she was detained and confiscated by the Dutch customs because of smuggling alcohol from  Helgoland (Ger.).
A Dutch fisherman, Aris Kuiper, from Termuntenzijl bought the ship from the gouverment. Given a new fishery number: TM 26 and  some years later in 1928 he handed over the ship to his son Geert. He updated and rebuilt the ship several times and sailed with the Meeuw until the seventies.
In these past twenty years the Meeuw was actif in shrimp-fishing (fishery nr. DZ126).
At the year 1972 the Meeuw carried out fishing and from that time only sailed with recreational sea anglers.
In 1987 I bought her and during the last thirty years I rebuilt and restaured  the ship totally to be a sailing cutter.
