Carl Møller

Carl Martin August Møller was a Danish rower, born in Aarhus on 24 August 1887 and died in Stratford, Connecticut on 27 August 1948. He rowed in the Nykøbing Falster Roklub boat that won the coxed fours, inriggers event at the 1912 Stockholm Olympics, a class contested only at those Games, beating a Stockholm crew by 12 seconds in the final. Møller was a machinist and three of his crewmates were blacksmiths, so the team was nicknamed Smedeholdet, the Blacksmith team. The crew had won the Nordic championships in 1910 and 1911. Møller later emigrated to the United States, where he married Nancy Anne Mason and had two sons.
