The lightship Elbe 3 was built in 1888 as the lightship Weser at the shipyard of Johann Lange in Vegesack. The first deployment was on the Weser position from 1889. In 1936, the ship received a four-stroke marine diesel engine. Instead of the middle mast, the ship therefore has a chimney. From 1954 to 1955 and from 1956 to 1966 the ship was in service at position Bremen, and from 1966 to 1977 at position Elbe 3. Elbe 3 was a lightship position northwest of Cuxhaven and northeast of Neuwerk in one of the main shipping lanes of the German Bight. The beacon consisted of three electrically operated individual beacons. It was decommissioned on 23 May 1977 in Cuxhaven.
