The fishing boat Maria was built from wood in 1880 at a shipyard on Elbe river close to Hamburg. The boat with the registration mark HF 31 is the oldest surviving boat of the "Ewer" type. It was used over 70 years mainly for catching sole and plaice.
The history of the ship is given rather detailed in a Wikipedia article. Today the boat is on display at the Deutsche Museum in Munich.
