The brig Tjalfe in the Sound with Kronborg in the background., Vilhelm Arnesen, 1911

The brig tjalfe was built in 1853 and bought by den kongelige grønlandske handel (royal greenland trading department) in 1857. It was sold in 1908 and was employed on a fishing expedition in 1908-09. After that it was used as an accommodation ship, so this 1911 painting appears to be retrospective. Object Type: painting. Date: 1911. Dimensions: height: 28 cm (11 in); width: 22.5 cm (8.8 in).
