Rasmus Krag (1680–1755) was a Danish naval officer who first became a junior lieutenant in 1700 and vice-admiral in 1736. He aspired to be a naval architect but his efforts proved unsatisfactory. Personal life The son of a tailor, Rasmus Krag was born in Copenhagen about 1680Bjerg in Gyldendal (or possibly 1677Topsøe-Jensen Vol 2 pp30 -32)The year of his birth is open to question. Two references give it as 1677, but his would mean Krag was 23 years old when he was first appointed as a junior lieutenant - unusually old for such an event. 1680 is more believable. Early career As a cadet in 1698 he served on a convoy with HDMS ''Hvide Falk'' to Portugal, and in 1699 to 1700 was in foreign service (which power not recorded), before being commissioned as a junior lieutenant on 30 January 1700.

18th-century Danish Shipbuilders
The 18th century lasted from January 1, 1701 ( MDCCI) to December 31, 1800 ( MDCCC). During the 18th century, elements of Enlightenment thinking culminated in the American, French, and Haitian Revolutions. During the century, slave trading and human trafficking expanded across the shores of the Atlantic, while declining in Russia, China, and Korea. Revolutions began to challenge the legitimacy of monarchical and aristocratic power structures, including the structures and beliefs that supported slavery. The Industrial Revolution began during mid-century, leading to radical changes in human society and the environment. Western historians have occasionally defined the 18th century otherwise for the purposes of their work. For example, the "short" 18th century may be defined as 1715–1789, denoting the period of time between the death of Louis XIV of France and the start of the French Revolution, with an emphasis on directly interconnected events.
