  Notater:

"Her husband, Captain Henrik Petersen, had been shipwrecked in the Atlantic. He was picked up at sea by another ship, bound for North America. He left the ship after it docked and made his way across the continent and ended up at Cape Scott where he established himself on a homestead. He returned unannounced (several years later) to Denmark to bring out his family. They had long since given him up for dead and were extremely surprised at his arrival."

Is all by himself in the 1911 Canadian census (San Josef, B.C.) and as a single person, date of birth May 1862, Denmark. Census says he came over in 1902 and was naturalized in 1906.
Henrik Petersen was part of a remote Danish settlement called Cape Scott on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. It was originally settled in 1896-7 by Rasmus Hansen, a Dane who was fishing out of Seattle. The settlement peaked about 1900 and after 1902, without the support of the provincial government to build roads to give access to the rest of the Island, the settlement slowly disbanded, with the settlers moving to safer and further inland settlements (one of which was San Josef). Nearly all the original settlers had left by WWI. Captain Petersen was the captain of the Cape Scott I and II, the life line from the coast to the settlements in the area, making the mail run three time each month and carrying other cargo and passengers. (Sources - "Dreams of Freedom", Gordon Fish, Sound Heritage Series No. 36; "The Cape Scott Story", Lester Peterson) "I was good friends with all of them, especially Captain Peterson. And, then he got his wife over from Copenhagen and he got some of his daughters over, and they were real lively. One of these nice Copenhagen girls got married . . . ". (John Harestad, "Dreams of Freedom").
