About Bent Salvesen

Bent Salvesen was a Norwegian ship's captain, privateer and adventurer. During the Gunboat War he served as a lieutenant in the Royal Danish Navy and then engaged in privateering, commanding one of the two private ships from Drammen which received the letter of marque from the Dano-Norwegian government that authorized them to attack British ships. In 1817 he abandoned his family to undertake a long voyage to the East Indies as an officer of a Danish ship, and died three years later in Spain as the captain of a Danish ship, never having returned. Bent Salvesen is remembered for his lively personality, wit, and adventurous lifestyle, and was the subject of stories and anecdotes, with several sayings attributed to him. He was remembered in the oral tradition of Drammen a century after his death.
