The king visited Erich Ancher in Fredrikshald and visited Moss three times, so it is obvious that the king both inspected Moss Jernverk and was introduced to the plans for producing armaments.
Kongen besøgte Erich Ancher i Fredrikshald og var hele tre gange i Moss, så det er naturlig at tro, at kongen både beså jernværket og blev indført i planerne om kanonproduktion.
