Anomaly[edit]

This article implies that the captain, Henrik Fisker, sailed back to Denmark in the Grønland to face his court martial. A reference is supplied (to which I have no access). Gyldendal (http://denstoredanske.dk/Dansk_Biografisk_Leksikon/Forsvar_og_politi/S%C3%B8officer/Henrik_Fisker Gyldendal]) however clearly states (in Danish) that he travelled back overland. Can anyone throw more light on this? Viking1808 (talk) 06:11, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Marinehistorisk Tidsskrift. 24 (3): 23–31 is available on line, but I get an error message when I try to insert the link - hence my reversion of my own efforts. It is clear Captain Fisker was replaced as captain of Grønland by one Simon Hoogland. This tidskrift reference does not say how Fisker returned to Denmark.

Added link to the source and added to the text that Fisker was replaced by Hoogland in Marseilles. JakobT (talk) 17:55, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
