This river minelaying boat was launched in 1928 as a part of Royal Hungarian River Guard.

In 1949 she was sold and became a tug-boat "Hohe Nau". Later in 1959 she was refitted to a passenger ship to cruise between Regensburg and Passau.
In 1970 her hull was extended and in 2005 she became a cruise boat named "Fanny".

Reminds me of the career of one American LST, though not stretching as far back as that. It's still in service as a ferry, though you would be a bit hard pressed to recongnize it as an LST.

"That is a very graphic analogy which aids understanding wonderfully while being, strictly speaking, wrong in every possible way."
