Ämmänkoski | + video and info:
Tar became a strategically important trade good in European markets when the emerging seafaring colonial Empires invested heavily in building new fleets. The production of tar, a liquid good that has been used to protect wooden ships from moisture, became an important source of livelihood in forest covered Finland; in most Western European kingdoms, the large natural forests required to produce tar had already been cut down to large extend before the 17th century.
The peak of the tar trade was during the American Civil War in the 19th century. At that time Oulu had become one of the main ports of tar trade in the world. The production of tar had mostly centralised to inland Finland where it was then packaged into large barrels and transfered to Oulu by specially crafted river boats. In 1846, up to 24.000 barrels/year could move through Ämmänköski (in the picture).
.
I think it's appropriate to mention that my family is also linked to the history of this old tar trade: my grand-grandmother was also moving the barrels when she was a young girl in early 1900s. It is wonderful to see the tradition alive to this day, thank you everyone for organising the show!
