TLF 23.12.1998: "... maybe you are interested in learning more about the "Ahlbecker". - I have never been in Ahlbeck. But for a while 'the Ahlbecker' were an institution in Deep. Beginning of July they came up the coast from Pomerania and landed at the Rega. I am afraid that they were not really popular (except for me because of their fantastic boats) since they competed with the local fishermen and also snapped away the girls... - The boats were motorized but the fishermen sailed whenever possible. - For me this was a very romantic situation..." * [104]
