A native of Denmark, Brown immigrated to the U.S. and joined the Navy from Maryland. By May 10, 1866, he was serving as captain of the afterguard on the {{USS|De Soto|1859|6}}. On that day, while the De Soto was off the coast of Eastport, Maine, he and two shipmates rescued two sailors from the {{USS|Winooski|1863|6}} from drowning. For this action, he and his shipmates, Seaman Richard Bates and Seaman Thomas Burke, were awarded the Medal of Honor three months later, on August 1.[2] Brown's official Medal of Honor citation reads: For heroic conduct with 2 comrades, in rescuing from drowning James Rose and John Russell, seamen, of the U.S.S. Winooski, off Eastport, Maine, 10 May 1866. See also{{Portal|Biography|United States Navy}}
