Hello all,
I have a map ... famous first words.
By an N. Enequist with text discussing that Silto Harbour is a free
port, bring your ships, etc. Exact title: "Slito harbour, east coast of
island of Gothland."
I am trying to determine when the port/harbor at Slite/Slito was made a
free port by Sweden? There are google books indicating the British were
discussing Slito as a free port in 1839 but saying it was up to the
Swedish. I think I saw that by 1854 Slite/Slito was a free port but when
did Sweden decide that?
There is a bio about Enequist here:

I am hoping someone has some Swedish language skills ... and can perhaps
do a search in Swedish or read the text to help.
Thanks in advance ...
Angie
