Biography:
The widow Helena Geertruijda Krap-Arbon was the brother of Johannes George Arbon, a prominent teacher of navigation in Rotterdam. In 1832, after the death of her husband, she continued the retail of navigating instruments in Rotterdam. First she associated with a certain 'Van den Brink', later (from 1851 onwards) she worked together with her son-in-law Joost van Duijm, who had married her daughter Henriette Cornelia Krap. In 1855, two months after the widow's death, his brother Aart van Duijm married the other daughter Anna Maria Krap, after which date he probably joined the firm, which then was continued under the name: 'Weduwe A.H. Krap & Van Duijm'. In 1858, they sold nautical instruments, charts and navigation manuals.
A marine telescope signed 'Krap & Van den Brink', (wrongly dated 1808-1814) has been preserved.
