  • Notes 
    • He was master of a Russian brig, and on June 20th, 1825, was appointed commandant of the Riga pilots, retiring from that post in 1842 on the ground of ill-health, with a pension of 400 silver roubles (about £40). For eminent services performed by him in rescuing the crews of Russian and Swedish ships in danger of shipwreck, numbering altogether more than 120 souls, he received five gold medals, and various certificates of honour, all of which are now in the possession of our cousin Henry William Satow of Bangor, North Wales. After his retirement, Heinrich and his wife went back to live at Wismar.



      Copies of crayon portraits of Heinrich and Catherine were extant at Wismar and are probably still in the possession of the municipal authorities. Heinrich left 200 silver roubles to the town at his death.
