About John Olsen Dobbe

"When they were to cross the port at Riser, the ship became entangled with another ship. It was here that the Captain told them you had better say your prayers as we are doomed. John Olsen Dobbe was the most adventuresome of the men on board and volunteered to release the two ships. He climbed above the ship on which he was a passenger and chopped apart the riggings of the two ships with an axe."
