Dear All:

I've traced my GGF to this ship in 1869. (Laurits P Hansen).

Does anyone know how to find more details on Danish ships like this?
Where is Svendborg?

I'd also like to know more about the owner of the schooner.
"Consul H.E. Rasmussen"
The number 723 is the contract number from the list of registered contracts

Best Regards
John A Hansen
