Danish-Norwegian Sailors During the Great Nothern War, 1700-1721: A Danish-Norwegian Sailors During the Great Northern War, 1700-1721: a portrait based on the available archaeological and historical sources. Master’s thesis submitted to the Maritime Archaeology Programme University of Southern Denmark Edgar Wróblewski 2013 Acknowledgements During the period in which this thesis was written I came across many people who shared their knowledge, advice and support with me. First, I would like to thank Jakob Seerup, the museum inspector of the Royal Danish Naval Museum (Orlogsmuseet), whose forthcoming article ‘ Absence of Shipwrecks’ inspired me to direct my research towards common sailors and as the result to write this thesis. I would also like to thank few people without whom dealing with the archaeological material in this thesis would remain impossible. For the information about the shipwreck and the finds from the frigate Lossen, I would like to thank Jørgen Johannessen from the Norwegian Maritime Museum (Norsk Maritimt Museum). For allowing me the access to the finds from the shipwreck of Dannebroge, I shall like to thank the director of the Køge Museum, Flemming Rieck, and the head of the conservation department Simon Botfeldt. For the information about the shipwrecks and the finds from Marstrand I would like to send many thanks to Thomas Bergstrand and Delia Ní Chíobháin from the Bohusläns Museum. For information and photos of the finds from the Swedish Naval Museum (Marinmuseum), I would like to thank Johan Löfgren. I am also grateful to Mrs Katrin Auer, for her help with deciphering early 18th-century handwriting. I would also like to thank Charlotte Haaber Pettersen for her dedication and time spent on helping me with sources in all Scandinavian languages. I would also like to thank for her support, and patience in listening about Danish-Norwegian sailors during the Great Northern War for last half a year. Lastly, and I think most importantly, I would like to express my gratitude to my supervisor, Jens Auer. His supervision and guidance together with the discussions were inspirational and motivational. As this thesis concludes two years of my Maritime Archaeology education at the University of Southern Denmark, I would like to express my gratitude to Thijs J. Maarleveld, Bo Ejstrud and again to Jens Auer, for their knowledge, experience and passion they shared with me and other students for last two years.

It appears that common sailors, without whom even the mightiest navy would be forced to stay in the harbour, were usually hidden behind the numbers of statistics. The following thesis attempts to change this picture of the navy and bring to attention the lives of common sailors. The study focuses on the period of the Great Northern War, 1700-1721. In the analysis, it uses the available archaeological material from the contemporary shipwrecks and compares it with the historical documents found in the State Archives in Copenhagen. The process shows the benefits of incorporating historical sources in the archaeological research, and more importantly the need for historians to do the same. It also examines the parallels and contradictions that can be seen in the materials. As the result, out of the combination of this different types of sources a more accurate portrait of an average sailor is created. It shows his dress and equipment, and, where possible, relates to his life on board of an early 18th-century ship of the Danish-Norwegian Navy. iii Table of Contents Acknowledgements ................................................................................................................................. ii Abstract .................................................................................................................................................. iii Table of Contents ................................................................................................................................... iv 1.

    van Gerven, Journal for the Study of Romanticisms (2018), Volume 07, DOI 10.14220/jsor.2018.7.1.17 Timvan Gerven (University of Amsterdam) WhoseTordenskjold?The Fluctuating Identities of an Eighteenth-Century Naval Hero in Nineteenth-Century Cultural Nationalisms Abstract The naval hero Peter Wessel Tordenskjold (1690–1720) wasone of the most celebrated historical figures in both nineteenth-century Norway and Denmark. This double national cultivation gavecause for an ongoing feud between Danish and Norwegian historians concerninghis true fatherland.Atthe same time, the uncertaintysurrounding his exact nationality offered awealth of material for narratives of Dano-Norwegian, and even pan- Scandinavian rapprochement. This article explores Tordenskjold’strack record as afigure of nationalcultivation by treating him as adynamic and transnationalmemory site (lieu de mémoire).Itwill be demonstrated that the contestation surrounding the ownership of his memory formed an importantmotivation for the rich artistic cultivation of this national hero, while the symbolic meaning attributedtohim wassubjected to the ideological needs of the individuals and groupsappropriatinghim. As such, Tordenskjold came to be alternately ingrained in Danish, Norwegian, Dano-Norwegian,and Scandinavian frameworks ac- cording to the relevant political and social circumstances. Keywords Peter Wessel Tordenskjold, Cultural memory, Cultivation of culture, National heroes, Lieu de mémoire Introduction Peter Wessel Tordenskjold (1690–1720) belongs to the most beloved and most cultivated national heroes in nineteenth-century Denmark and Norway. The list of songs, poems, stories, plays, novels, and biographies featuring the vice admiral in the leading role is aparticularly long one and includes works by such prominent authors as Adam Oehlenschläger, B. S. Ingemann, and Henrik Hertz.

Det vil uden Tvivl forekomme Danske, som ere vante til at anse Niels Juel for Danmarks største Admiral i de nyere Tider, højst paafaldende, at det er blevet sagt om ham i Aaret 1676, at han var uvidende, at han manglede Kundskab i Sø­ krigen. Man vil let falde paa at sige, at den, som har udtalt sig paa en saadan Maade, selv har været uvidende. Men naar Ytringen er fremkommen fra en hollandsk Admiral, som i sit Fædreland altid har nydt stor Anseelse, og som selv var til- stæde i den Affære, i hvilken Niels Juel skal have vist, at han var en ukyndig Admiral, og naar dertil en nyere hollandsk Forfatter, De Jonge, som ikke kan forklare, hvorledes den uvidende Niels Juel kunde vinde Slaget i Kjøgebugt, paa anden Maade end ved at antage, at Juel, efter i et Aar at have staaet under Kommando af Cornelis Tromp, har lært af ham, hvor­ ledes han skulde manøvrere og slaa Fjenden, saa er der Op­ fordring til at undersøge denne Sag nøjere.

    Gender & History ISSN 0953-5233 Andreas Marklund, ‘The Manly Sacrifice: Martial Manliness and Patriotic Martyrdom in Nordic Propaganda during the Great Northern War’ Gender & History, Vol.25 No.1 April 2013, pp. 150–169. The Manly Sacrifice: Martial Manliness and Patriotic Martyrdom in Nordic Propaganda during the Great Northern War Andreas Marklund The battle of Narva on 20 November 1700 stirred up an abundant flurry of Swedish war propaganda. The furious, blizzard-swept battle, in which the army of King Charles XII managed to defeat a numerically superior Russian adversary, was celebrated in a plethora of poems, war ballads and pictorial representations. Central and local author- ities throughout the Swedish empire organised processions and religious ceremonies to spread the word of the military victory to the King’s subjects.1 Yet the battle of Narva also took a heavy death toll, on both the Swedish and the Russian sides. A few weeks after the battle, the royal printer Salig Wankifs Enka in Stockholm published a written memorial for the fallen Swedish soldiers: Memorial in Honour of the Brave Swedish Killed and Wounded under His Royal Majesty’s own Venerated Command ....2 The publication was flowery and somewhat muddled. At its core was a list of Swedish casualties: 667 dead and 1,247 wounded. The private soldiers appeared as anonymous numbers, whereas officers were listed with their names and detailed descriptions of their wounds. Apart from the listed casualties, the publication was made up of bombastic lyrical passages celebrating the sacrifice of the fallen soldiers. Here was an explicit dimension of ars moriendi – guidance in the principles of the Good Death.
