Thorbjørn Christen Hansen startet sin sjømannskarriere som jungmann om bord i "New Sevilla" den 13. september 1930. Da krigen brøt ut var han matros om bord i hvalbåten Gos 3. Han mønstret så på Pol 7 i Halifax og mønstret av i Montevideo.
Etter avmønstring fra hvalbåten Pol 7 den 6. mai 1941 i Montevideo og fram til krigens slutt, var han på hvalfangst med et argentinsk selskap (Argentina de Pesca).
Han seilte som matros/hvalfanger fram til siste båt som var Kosmos IV med avmønstring i Sandefjord den 8. mai 1964.

Going through new source material in order to document the war sailors and their history is an ongoing and extensive effort, and there exist no complete register over decorations awarded. Infomation about medals will therefore be registered gradually and be based on different source materials. The war sailors were awarded medals both during and after the war. Do you want to read more about decorations, then please study this page: Decorations
