Across two Oceans in the Fennia

After having learned about Fennia in Falklands during my visit I did some research and came over the diary of Mr Howlett on JStor that depicts his voyage from Australia to Europe in 1926. He had the wherewithal to negotiate his passage and then had the luxury to take off in Chile for some sightseeing so he was not a deck boy per se a but still helped and worked where he could as well as taught he cadets English. I also have corrected the anglicised names with the Scandinavian alphabet.

Having visited Falklands I came over the information by accident in a pub that a Finnish sailing vessel, FENNIA, had in early 1900's limped into Port Stanley jury rigged after having been partly demasted in a severe storm.
