Frédéric de Coninck

Frederic de Coninck (2 December 1740, The Hague - 1811, Dronninggaard) was a Dutch merchant active in Copenhagen, to which he moved in 1763 to set up a foreign trade and shipping company. He became one of Denmark's largest shipping owners, with a fleet of 64 vessels at the company's height. He took advantage of Denmark's neutrality in the Napoleonic Wars to boost his and its trade, but his company got into difficulties during and after the English Wars, having to shut down in 1822.
