Frantz Hohlenberg
Frantz Christopher Henrik Hohlenberg (17 February 1764 – 9 January 1804) was a Danish naval officer who specialised in ship design and had little seagoing experience. He succeeded Ernst Wilhelm Stibolt as Master Shipbuilder (fabriksmester) at the Royal Danish Dockyards in 1796. His ships included five ships of the line (one constructed posthumously) and 18 frigates (five constructed posthumously). Three of the ships of the line and nine of the frigates were captured at the 1807 Battle of Copenhagen and subsequently added to the Royal Navy. He resigned after a controversy in 1803.
