This wreck is associated with the British steam trawler MOUNTBATTEN, which was built by Cochrane & Sons Shipbuilders Ltd. and was operated by Trawlers Ltd. when it stranded in Rodoy Fjord, Norway. The ship was refloated by a Norwegian salvage company and sold to Germany, where it was brought under tow. On its way to Hamburg in March 1951, the vessel developed a list in the Elbe estuary in heavy weather and foundered. It was salvaged again and brought to a scrapping yard in the industrial port district of Hamburg-Moorburg nearby the coal plant.

The vessel was never scrapped and has become a biotope. It is not considered a navigation hazard by the Hamburg Port Authority and therefore there are no plans for the wreck's removal.
