Skipper with his own vessel, trading to northern Norway and the Arctic. An energetic man who, by all accounts, saved a considerable number of lives in the course of a career that did not lack for incident. Encountered by Konrad Sundlo in Trondheim around 1912 — by then an old man working at the Trondheim Mechanical Workshops. Anecdotes are recorded of a reattached fingertip and of surviving being run over by a motor car — the latter, one imagines, regarded as the more remarkable achievement of the two.
