Description
The vessel was built for D.F.D.S. at Burmeister & Wain in Copenhagen (yard no. 283). Launched in March 1912 as the Aarhus and delivered in June. In April of 1944 she was taken over by Germany and became the hospital ship Marburg. Returned to D.F.D.S. in June 1945 and became the Aarhus again. In December 1948 her name was changed to Botnia and in 1949 she was refitted at the Helsingør Shipyard, her tonnage growing from 1,627 to 1,972 GRT. In 1966 she was sold to Husø Værft A/S, Norway and used as an accomodation ship. Source: http://www.jmarcussen.dk/maritim/skibsliste/side.php?id=7425 (in Danish). At the 2005 sale, the lot contained two paintings by Qvistorff.

Permission
(Reusing this file)
This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1953, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.


You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States. Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
