    Notes:

    Event-Misc:
    I 1893 var han med som mannskap på - Viking - en kopi av Gokstadskipet - som seilte over til Amerika i forbindelse med verdensutstillingen i Chicago. De dro fra Bergen 30.april 1893.

    The Viking left Bergen at noon on Sunday, April 30, 1893, with a crew of twelve, two chronometers, spare fittings galore, and a thousand bottles of beer. Fully laden, the total weight of the ship was over thirty tons-much higher than seems feasible for the historical Gokstad (the Viking was build after the Gokstad). The voyage was frequently stormy, but the rudder proved equal to all occasions, and the hull turned out to be amazingly supple:
    "The bottom together with the keel gave with every movement of the ship, and in a strong head-sea the keel could move up and down as much as three-quarters of an inch. But strangely enough the ship stayed completely watertight.
    The ship's remarkable elasticity was also apparent in other ways; in heavy seas, for instance, the gunwales would twist out of true by as much as six inches". Magnus Andersen: Vikinggaerden, 1895.
    The serpentine flexibility of the hull proved a distinct advantage in sailing, and the; Viking regularly logged speeds of ten knots or more. They saw Bacalao light on Newfoundland at 4 A.M. on May 27th; they were then twenty-eight days out from Bergen - A tremendous achievement, to have crossed from Norway to North America in four weeks in an open sailing boat. The Viking caused a stir wherever it docked, and was the hit of the Chicago world Fair; it had achieved its primary purpose of putting old Norse and modern Norwegian Ship-Building on the map.

    Died:
    Highland Hospital Oakland.
