Excerpt: The Mi Amigo (Spanish: My Friend) was originally a three masted cargo schooner, that later gained international recognition as an offshore radio station. She was built as the schooner Margarethe for German owners. A sale in 1927 saw her renamed Olga and she was lengthened in 1936. During the Second World War, she was requisitioned by the Kriegsmarine and served as an auxiliary ship between 1941 and 1943. In 1953, the ship was again lengthened to 133 feet 9 inches (40.77 m). In 1959, she was sold for conversion to a floating radio station and was renamed Bon Jour. Subsequently, she was renamed Magda Maria in 1961 and Mi Amigo in 1962. She served, intermittently, as a radio ship, until 1980, when she sank in a gale. The ship, was built, as a three masted schooner SS Margarethe, by Deutsche Werke, Kiel in 1921, for Ernst Simon A.G. As constructed, she was 96 feet 8 inches (29.46 m) long, with a beam of 23 feet 1 inch (7.04 m) and a depth of 9 feet 5 inches (2.87 m). The overall weight being 129 tons at this time. Simon sailed the boat around various Baltic ports carrying general cargo. She was sold to Heinrich Koppelmann in 1927. Koppelmann renamed her Olga after his wife. In 1928, she was strengthened and a four cylinder engine installed. The weight increased to 159 GRT, 97 NRT. One of her wooden masts was replaced by a steel mast. Olga had Hamburg as her port of registry. She was allocated the Code Letters RBGF. In 1936, Olga was lengthened and a new Klockner-Humbolt diesel engine fitted (six cylinders of 8 inches (22 cm) diameter by 14 inches (36 cm) stroke), and the length of the boat was increased to 111 feet 3 inches (33.91 m), by adding a new centre section. On 5 June 1941, Olga was requisitioned by the Kriegsmarine. She served as an auxiliary ship based at Putlos. On 18 November 1943, Olga was decommissioned and then refitted before being returned to her owner. She appears to have been de-rigged at this time, as shown by contemporary photographs.
