Johannes in 1890

this picture is one of the oldest in my collection. Johannes Theodoris de Vries born on June 21th of 1858 is the grandfather of my mother. she is 88 now and still going strong. Johannes was a 'hut man' allthough i'm not shure this is the right word. he guided ships into the harbor. one day he fell into the water and drowned at septembre 2th of 1900 leaving wive and three kids behind. he was maried with Aukje.

this picture is a restaurated version of the original.
