26 feldt sacrificed the lives of himself and his sailors of his own free will in Kjogebugt on the 4. Oct. 1810 in order to save the Danish fleet. His ship „Dannebrog“ was in flames and he preferred perishing to taking shelter with the rest of the fleet, which he was afraid of setting on fire. The ship was blown np and everybody on board suffered a heroic death.
