Christian Soren Marcus Olrik, Inspector of North Greenland
A portrait photograph believed to be of Christian Soren Marcus Olrik (1815-1870) Inspector of North Greenland 1846-66, seated in his uniform. He was based in Godhavn [referred to as Lievely in Phoenx's log] and visited the Phoenix (1832) on 3 July 1854 accompanying the Governor for dinner with the Captain. He took passage on Phoenix between 5 and 12 July 1854 to Swarte Hook, near Kangatak Islands. At 12.30pm the Phoenix fired a three-gun salute for the Inspector as he left the ship.
Phoenix returned on 6 September with the evacuated men from the Belcher expedition. Here the Phoenix spent time coaling from the storeship Talbot, and collecting water. Inglefield entertained the Inspector and Governor of Godhavn between 4pm and 10.30pm on 9 September 1854, including firing three rockets and two blue lights at 8 pm. The ships departed on 11 September.
