Georg Emil Tuxen

Captain Georg Emil Tuxen (11 December 1814 – 21 September 1885) was a Royal Danish Navy officer.

[1] Tuxen followed the family tradition, enrolling at the Royal Danish Naval Cadet Academy in 1828.

[1] In 1846–54, he served as teacher in navigation at the Royal Danish Naval Academy, although this work was interrupted by the outbreak of the First Schleswig War.

When the position as director of navigation was converted into a separate office, in 1860, Tuxen was dismissed from the navy with honorary rank of commander.

He retired ultimo 1884 due to poor health resulting from earlier the same year having wrecked with a boat en route to Fanø.

[4] At the time of the 1885 census his home was a first-floor apartment at Sankt Knuds Vej 13 in Frederiksberg.
