Jorgen Nielsen Moller

A portrait photograph believed to be of Jorgen Nielsen Moller, Governor of Holsteinborg, 1841-54, seated smoking a hookah. The negative has been partially masked with paper.

The Phoenix's log records the Governor and Inspector of North Greenland coming aboard Phoenix at 4.30am on Monday 2 July 1854 to dine with the Captain. The Inspector received a salute of nine guns. The Governor received a seven-gun salute when he came onboard at 3.30pm on Tuesday 3 July 1854 to dine with the officers. The Phoenix, with her companion vessels Talbot and North Star, did not call at Holsteinborg on the return journey in September 1854 after evacuating Belcher's expedition.
