Lars Kruse
Lars Andersen Kruse (1828–1894) was a fisherman from Skagen in the far north of Jutland, Denmark. He is remembered not only for his heroic rescues but for his portraits painted by Michael Ancher and an account of his mistreatment written by Holger Drachmann in a mixture of poems and prose.〔("Lars Kruse" ), ''Dansk Biografisk Leksikon''.

==Biography==
From an early age, Kruse took part in many rescues off Skagen's dangerous coasts, helping to save the lives of some 200 people. One of his most heroic exploits was on 27 December 1862 when the Swedish brig Daphne was stranded off the coast to the north. After the lifeboat had capsized and its crew of eight had drowned, Kruse took his own boat out into the storm and saved the ship's crew. He was immediately assigned to the Life-saving Service where he was put in charge of Skagen's lifeboat. In 1880, he was awarded a silver cross with the inscription: ''Ydmyg i Ordet, stolt i sin Daad, kristen i Gjerning, Mand i sin Baad'' (Humble in speech, Proud in deed, Christly in action, Man in his boat). Kruse drowned in March 1894 off Skagen's north beach, trying to reach land in a violent snowstorm.〔
