The keel for Frauengabe (Women's gift) was laid down in 1849 and she was launched on 24 August 1855 in Wolgast as Frauenlob.

In 1859, Frauenlob participated in the Eulenburg Expedition and was lost on 2 September 1860 in a typhoon off Yokohama with all hands.

The Frauenlob was a clinker-built ship, the hull of which was made with a transverse frame and covered with copper plates for protection.

She had gaff rigging on two masts with a total sail area of 523 m², which enabled a top speed of 13 knots.

The construction costs of around 43,000 thalers were partly financed with the collected donations, the shortfall was subsidized by the War Ministry.
