Før mønstring sjøtjeneste med dampskip 22.9/30 måneder.
Første mønstring registrert er 11.02.1912 med d.s. FANNY av Arendal, tilhørende Adolf Kallevig.
Halvorsen seilte i utenriks fart under hele 1. verdenskrig.
2. Verdenskrig: Halvorsen mønstret i Tvedestrand 21.04.1938 som matros til m.s. VILJA, avmønstring ikke ført. Vi kjenner imidlertid til at han var ombord i m.s. TYR som matros da dette skipet ble torpedert 9. mars 1942 i posisjon 43 12 N 61 15 W av tysk ubåt, U-96 sjef (Lehmann-Willenbrock). Skipet sank i løpet av 8-9 minutter. Alle kom seg velberget i livbåtene og fordelte seg på 3 livbåter. Ubåten kom til overflaten og sjefen beklaget at han hadde vært nødt til å senke skipet deres. De fikk også angitt kurs for nærmeste land som var Sable Island, ca. 120 øst av Nova Scotia.
Livbåtene forsøkte å holde kontakt, men grunnet dårlig vært klarte de ikke dette.
3. styrmann's båt med 9 personer ombord ble funnet etter 16 timer av en Canadisk patruljebåt og landsatt i Halifax samme kveld.
1. styrmann's båt ble oppdaget av et Canadisk fly etter at de hadde 52 timer i livbåten. De ble straks etter tatt opp av Canadisk krigsskip, HMCS GEORGIAN og landsatt i Halifax.
Theodor Halvorsen var blant dem som ble reddet.
Kapteinens båt med 13 personer ombord ble aldri funnet.

Going through new source material in order to document the war sailors and their history is an ongoing and extensive effort, and there exist no complete register over decorations awarded. Infomation about medals will therefore be registered gradually and be based on different source materials. The war sailors were awarded medals both during and after the war. Do you want to read more about decorations, then please study this page: Decorations
