On the north side of Holni you will find this only grave at the entrance to the beach. It is still cared for today, even though the Baltic Sea storm surge has left its mark.
The faded sign with the description was no longer there at this point.
But I can report the following about the sad story:
The helmsman, who had cholera, was refused entry into the port of Flensburg. He died on board and his comrades buried him here on the northern coast of Holnis...

The grave of the helmsman Peter Thomson, who returned in 1850 with his sailing ship from the West Indies. Since he was sick on board ill with cholera, the ship was prohibited at the "visitation" at the Norderfährbrücke the sailing to Flensburg. The ship was anchored, he died on board and was quietly buried there by his comrades.
