 | | - Didrik Pining and Hans Pothorst lead a Danish-Portuguese expedition to Greenland/and the mouth of the Saint-Lawrence, for King Christiern I of Denmark and King Affonso of Portugal (whose representative was Joao Vaz Cortereal.) |
 | | This is a memorial for a local boy who had made it; Hans Pothorst and Didrik Pining had been sent on an expedition to Greenland and America (probably the area around the mouth of the Saint-Lawrence river) by King Christiern I who wanted to do his friend, Henry the Navigator of Portugal, a favor. |
