Fillip Dahl

Fillip Dahl was a Swedish sailor who served as the steward of Captain Robert Witterel aboard the Obra Dinn during its final voyage in 1802. Dahl died after reaching his arm into the Formosan chest in the lazarette, where he had been locked up after he had killed seaman John Naples.

Story
Dahl was Captain Witterel's steward for twenty years.

He witnessed three mermaids being brought to the ship. He was convinced that they carry a curse and cut off the leg of seaman John Naples, perhaps in an attempt to free the mermaids or to dissuade the crew from carrying them on board. Captain Witterel, astonished that his long-term steward would act out, ordered Dahl to be locked into the lazarette along with the mermaids.

Inside the lazarette, Dahl broke free and opened the chest. He saw what he thought was quicksilver. He reached into the chest and grabbed the shell, his arm was incinerated in the process and he died.

In the final insurance assessment, the East India Company concluded that Dahl had failed to perform his duties and killed a fellow crewman. His estate was fined £35.
