Historyedit
Jakob Goldschmidt was built as yard number 286 by the Schiffswerft von Henry Koch, AG, Lübeck, Germany for the Hochseefischerei J. Wieting AG, Nordenham, Germany. She was launched in June 1930 and completed the next month. The fishing boat registration ON 145 was allocated, as were the Code Letters NKHS. She was operated under the management of the Nordsee Deutsche Hochseefischerei Bremen-Cuxhaven AG.[2][3] In April 1933, she was renamed Baden. On 4 September 1930 her fishing boat registration was changed to PG 480 and on 10 November she was sold to her managers.[3] During 1934, her Code Letters were changed to DNOV.[4] She took part in Festungskriegsübung Swinemünde on 10 June 1937.[3]
On 23 September 1939, Baden was requisitioned by the Kriegsmarine for use as a vorpostenboot. She was allocated to 2 Vorpostenflotille as V 214 Baden.

Baden was raised post-war, repaired and returned to service in 1947 as the French merchant ship Docteur Edmond Papin for the Sociètè Française de Cabotage, Bordeaux. The Code Letters FPUW were allocated.[3][7] In 1961, she was sold to the United Kingdom. She was scrapped the next year.[3]
