Carl-Ebbe Andersen was a Danish coxswain, born in Roskilde on 19 January 1929, who died on 14 June 2009. He competed at the 1948 Summer Olympics, where he was the coxswain of the Danish boat that won the gold medal in the coxed pair event. A coxswain does not row but steers the boat and directs the crew, so in a coxed pair he sat with the two rowers while they raced. The English Wikipedia article on him records this Olympic title as the main fact of his career.
