Description

Break outside LATE's large hall in Pansio.

Many Houtskär residents worked at the shipyard, among them Torsten Mattsson, Sven Lans, Bernt Mårtensson, Johannes "Jukka" Finneman, and others.
It can be mentioned that old boat builders were not so appreciated here, such as Finneman, who, according to the shipyard, made too dense joints, so there was no room for the tar drive. Unfortunately, things went badly for these stubborn archipelago residents, if they did not change their methods, they found some reason to fire them!
Finneman's career ended in this way, he said that he got "POIS on the note"! There was probably a note on his pay slip with his final payment!
