Karl Kristian Kobs Krøyer was a Danish inventor and manufacturer, born on August 21, 1914, in Korsør and passing away on August 19, 1995, in Magagnosc, France. He is best known for his invention of a system to raise sunken ships using small foam balls (styrofoam). His most notable work was in response to the sinking of the cargo ship Al-Kuwait in 1964. Despite facing challenges with patenting his idea, which was humorously linked to a cartoon plot, his system was eventually sold to a Dutch company and used in various applications.
