Abstract
A ship I know of was steering south through Aland's Haf on a wild night in October 1910. Her old sailmaker was born in the north part of the Stockholm archipelago and knew every stone and every drop of water in Aland's Haf. He told the mate that the ship would not get through on the course she was steering. The mate told the master, and in the end the old sailmaker was called aft to con the ship. How he did it nobody really understood, as they sighted nothing; but the ship got through. Another vessel, the Bardowie, was lost that very night in the same waters, the two ships having been in company on the day before.
