Anders Jacob Johansen

Anders Jacob Johansen (1815 – November 28, 1881, surname also Johanessen or Johannessøn), known as Ulabrand, was a maritime pilot who lived in Ula in Vestfold, Norway.

The pilots therefore used lookout points with a good vantage to be able to detect boats early on their way into the Oslo Fjord.

He is described as a sailor of the right cast, daring when necessary, brave, and resourceful, but also enjoying drinking and being exceptionally kind-hearted and good-natured.

[5] A monument to Johansen was created by the sculptor Hans Holmen in 1932 and was installed at the site where the pilots of Ula had their lookout point.

[6][7] The song "Ulabrand" (melody by Kristian Wendelborg, 1863–1938, and lyrics by Peter Rosenkrantz Johnsen, 1857–1929)[8] was popular at Norwegian-American events in the early 20th century.
