Thanks Steve!

      s/o Hans Ipsen and Johanne Catrine Hermansdatter 
Johanna Catrine/Catherine Hermansdatter/Beck is the sister of Anders Beck my grandmothers's grandfather. 
he died 15 March 1855 in Alameda California.  He was listed as a Master Mariner

This picture has a lot of writing on the back.  I’ve added that image for you to look at, I can make out that it was taken Woodrow’s Dock & Railway Photographic Studio, which I think is in England, but then it has some information about Svaneke Bornhom Denmark, so I’m wondering if anybody went on a mission to Denmark, or something like that.  There are also some dates, but I haven’t been able to put two and two together on this one.  Also, it almost looks like written Mathias Andrews or something like that, but I can’t find that name in the family line anywhere.
