The ship "Finland" was one of the Swedish Eastindian Company's most famous ships. She was built in 1761 on a shipyard in Stockholm, could carry 1000 ton, had 30 canons and a crew of 150 men. She sailed to Canton in China seven times in the years 1762-1781. The fastest voyage took about 17 months, while the longest took more than 2 years and 5 months.
One of the journeys that lasted from 12-26-1769 to 6-7-1771 has been depicted with great humour by Jacob Wallenberg in the book "Min son på Galejan", one of Swedish litteratures most entertaining works.

He gives a eyewitness account of life on board in the last half of the 1700's. The Swedish East Indian Company made a total of 125 journeys to the Far East, while it existed in the periode 1731-1813.
