The fisherman Lars Kruse (1828-94)
portraied above was a member of the lifeboat
crew in Skagen that sailed out in stormy weather to
rescue fishermen and their ships in need. During his
lifetime he saved more than 200 men. Together with
the rest of the crew he was to have a Merit in 1879. He
didn't get it beause he was was accused of theft as a
young, poor boy: He picked up a piece of driftwood
and sold it. In those days driftwood belonged only to
the beach bailiff. This was used against him as a
grown man and it created quite a stir in Skagen;
Holger Drachmann published a novel about
the wrong doing of Lars Kruse; and the
authorities in Skagen awarded Lars
Kruse his Merit...at last
