Dankert Dankertsen Krohn

"Dankert Krohn was born in Førde by Bergen on the 28th July 1842. He was one of the eleven children of a well-known, wealthy Norwegian family. His decision to go to Oporto (Portugal) was taken at the suggestion of his cousin Wiese, who wished to start a Port business with him. In fact, the company was established in 1865, but in 1880 Krohn acquired his cousin's share and became the sole proprietor until he died in June 1906.

Dankert Krohn took up the Portuguese nationality for himself and his family after having been disappointed by the authorities of his homeland, who didn't choose him as their consul in Oporto. Later on he was appointed Danish consul in this city."
