Hvis Mads Langli rejste til USA i 1905, og var der et par år med broren Claus
Sørensen, som rejste dertil i 1906, er der muligvis tale om en mindre erindrings-
forskydelse, når han angiver 1906 til at være året, hvor han vendte hjem og fik
bygget en båd i Esbjerg. Det er måske snarere 1907, hvis kronologien skal passe

Summary
Mads Langli Sørensen (born 1881) distinguished himself through
hard work and enterprise. He became one of the most versatile
and successful Wadden Sea fishermen of his time. He grew up
in a family of ten siblings on the small island of Langli in Ho Bay
between Hjerting and Skallingen, and from a young age learned
everything worth knowing about making a living out of trapping
and fishing. Throughout his life, he was engaged in different
forms of fishery with techniques and tools developed by him-
self. He supplemented his fishing particularly with seal hunting
and bird catching on the Wadden Sea. Mads Langli was driven
by a spirit of adventure, and throughout his life kept seeking
challenges. In 1905, as a young man, he went to America, where
he took up salmon fishing along the Pacific coast for a couple
of years, after which he went back to Denmark and started fish-
ing in domestic waters from his home port of Esbjerg. Later on,
in 1936-1938, he participated in test fishing in the Persian Gulf
with fisheries biologist H. Blegvad and obtained good results
of benefit to the Iranian government which had invited them.
Together with his brother Claus Sørensen, known as a pioneer
and founder of a number of enterprises in and around Esbjerg,
Mads Langli started a salvaging business on the west coast of
Jutland. Mads Langli also specialized in building small boats –
called Langli boats (in Danish: “Langlikaner”), which he contin-
ued to build until he died in 1966, at 85 years old.
