The experts at christie's described this vessel as a barkentine, which she clearly was not. They used the name gerson m. . , which must be a misunderstanding. She was the gerson, owned by moses & søn, g. Melchior in copenhagen and built for her owners in sweden (döderhultsvik, kalmar) in 1851. In 1888 she was sold to harald fischer & h. Rasmussen of korsør, denmark and became the dagmar. In 1896 she got swedish owners (l. E. Nielsson of råå) and our danish sources lost track of her. Http://www. Jmarcussen.
