GEDCOM Note

In Nov 1788 several Föhr seamen died on a Danish-Royal Orlogschiff (warship) near Copenhagen (I count 8 people). They were all ordered to the warship and fell ill there. Some died on board, some later in the Copenhagen Quarthaus, - a memorial sermon was held for all of them every day in the respective congregation.
