The Regina was built in 1911 and was 1304 GRT. The 3 cylinder triple expansion engine delivered 1400 hp for 12 knots speed. As can be seen the ship was used by the shipping company R.C. Gribel of Stettin, Germany. In August 1914 the ship became Russian booty in Riga and then served as a live-in ship Caika. On 3 April 1918 the ship was recaptured in Helsinki and returned to the shipowner in November 1919.
The ship survived the war and seems to have been used until 1965. The company of R.C. Gribel had to relocate to West Germany in 1945 after Stettin was made a Polish city.
