Finsksvenska expeditionen till Argentina (1904) :: expedition

Object description

Då emigrationen var stor från Finland i början av 1900-talet ville man hitta ett alternativ till Nordamerika. Därför reste Arthur Thesleff, svenske sjökapten John G. Högberg och agronom Myrsteen till Patagonien 10 oktober 1904 för att hitta lämpliga områden i södra Argentina på Kordillernas sluttningar. Högberg bodde vid tiden i Argentina och omnämns som agent för Argentina. Per Dusén och agronomen Agrell anslöt i Buenos Aires. I december kom de till Santa Cruz i södra Argentina.

Expeditionen blev dock misslyckad, inga lämpliga marker hittades, och istället begav sig Arthur Thesleff, Högberg och Myrsteen norrut i augusti 1905 till regionen Misiones ("Missioues") i nordöstra Argentina.

Important to know about the information in the online collection database

Users of the database are warned that some records may include language or terminology dating from the 19th and 20th centuries which depicted people in ways that are obsolete and/or offensive. We are conscious that the inclusion of such terminology is problematic. As an institution, we have chosen to include this historic information in our database because it is part of the documentation for the object, photograph, or archival item. Where known, objects associated with, or photographs depicting, ritual or ceremonial activity have been hidden in the publicly accessible database as there may be restrictions relating to the age, gender, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them. The database may also include the names of deceased persons, which could cause sadness or distress, particularly to relatives of these people.
