About the item

1973 Holmegaard Ship's plate with motif of the brig "Catharina & Sophia" of Copenhagen. The motif is reproduced after a coloured drawing made by E. Filati in 1793. Inscription: Brig Catharina & Sophia
This brig was built in Sønderborg in 1786, when the builder's certificate was issued, the Catarina & Sofia belonged to a joint ownership company under the management of a merchant Friedr. Fiedler. The slender vessel was one of the first ships in the quite large merchant fleet which Friedr. Fiedler built up during these years. The Catarina & Sophia was put into service in the Mediteanean, but in 1798 she undertook a single long voyage- as far as to the Danish West Indies, where she called at St. Croix. In 1793 Jens Lorentsen was skipper on a voyage to Lisbon, Toulon and Marseilles.
