The Siebel Ferry was originally designed for Operation Sealion, the proposed amphibious invasion of Britain. It was a rush job, and was actually constructed from two heavy bridging pontoons connected by steel girders.

Although the operation they were designed for never took place, Siebel Ferries went on to fulfill a number of roles throughout the war. They were used as transports, flak ships, gunboats, convoy escorts and minelayers.
