This
is a site - a work in constant progress - that will promote
and publish original research, republish old articles and compile
information pertaining to seafaring, shipbuilding, and emigration
since the days of the trading of Ostrobothnian yeomen in the
1500's until the great Ostrobothnian emigration wave of the
1800's and early 1900's. In short, it is about journeys through
the centuries, across the Baltic Sea, and across the oceans.
