As the director of the ship building yard B&W, he led the development of the M/S Selandia, which was the most advanced diesel-powered vessel of that time. He travelled with the ship to present it in different countries, also in Russa, where he acquired this present cigar box. Thence by descendants, with residence in Denmark, until today.
