Description
The old big boat has been sentenced. It must be removed. The boat was once Hjalmar Pettersson's boat. It was bought at the estate's auction by John Gröndal. Donated to the community sailors (Houtskärs allmogeseglare). Allmogeseglarna in turn handed it over to Hembygdsföreningen at its 20th anniversary. The community sailors built the "stölp bench" for the boat. The sailboat´s name was Linnea. (See the sealed letter from the Lapua Archipelago Museum that arrived in Houtskär on March 1, 1989).
