In March of this year I found out (on this site) that my ancestor, Olof Adolf Johansson, born 26-March 1830 in Myckleby, Bohuslän, had listed his occupation as a sailor when he was married in April 1862 to Augusta Matilda Svensdotter from Hjartum, Bohuslän. The couple settled in Trollhätten, and later Olof Adolf listed his occupation as a worker.
When he was a sailor, would he have sailed on one of the large lakes - Vattern or Vanern? Was there a merchant fleet on those lakes? I assume that after he married and moved to Trollhätten, he worked in one of the water-powered industries that were in that area, and he gave up sailing.
