Bore King

When I was doing my General rating school back in 1984-1985 we were sent as apprentices for one trip on various Finnish cargo ships, usually a roundtrip lasted for a week or so. I was with another 3 guys sent to Bore King and as I remember we embarked in Helsinki and sailed for Kotka - Gothenburg - Helsingborg and back to Helsinki.

Grandfather Bernhard

In the book "Mathildedal's history" is an inset of local characters and stories of them, one of them being my late grandfather from my fathers side, below is a translation of the anecdotes from page 212. There are no name of who provided these stories, I assume these are a result of interviews with various locals by historians.
