80-Year Abandoned Tiny House! Titanic Tickets Discovered Inside…

[@NancyB-id3gi]

At 0:24 there is a calendar shown from The New Britain Lumber Company, New Britain, Connecticut as well as an ad from Liberty Baking Co., which is where I was born, raised and am writing this post from. The Park Street address is only a mere two streets from where I sit. New Britain had a thriving Swedish community, to the extent where they had their own private organization - The Svea Social Club, which still operates today in Berlin, Connecticut. Lesley, I love these adventures you and your crew share with us. Happy New Year!!

I believe my grandfather's grandparents were the ones who came here. Thoresen's from Norway who was married to Nannie Olson the Swede. They set up in the U.P. in Michigan.

[@luckylogger7594]

Me too Nelsons

[@luckylogger7594]

@@dianebrown8046 Swedish immigrant family here also. The Nelsons and Lynds. Both moved to Idaho Territory in the late 1800's and married each other. My grandpa's a Nelson built a railroad as Supervisor through Washington Territory to Lewiston, Idaho. He met his bride who's parents my 2 great grandparents by staying in their boarding house and got married. He spent 10 years in the Wild West tried mining camp towns, and homesteaded in Moses Lake, WA, and buried his implements in the high desert to get a contract in Spokane WA to work on the RR and was hired supervisor. Nels and his brother August Nelson. Then bought an 800 acre wheat farm in 1889, where I grew up on as fourth generation.

Even though we only knew each other from the internet She was the highlight of my day. She passed away on Christmas day. We used to watch your videos together on video calls.

Amazing program this week. I love your new partner. This week's program really moved my heart. These abandoned homes can really stir my emotions.

[@jefflawrentz1624]

Wow- Sweden is beautiful. Both houses were charming. The house partly in the ground would have been called a ‘cellar’ here in the states. I get the impression this is someone’s family farm. Very cool explore. Thanks, Leslie and I hope you have a safe and happy New Years!

[@hansornevi4218]

In Sweden it is easy to find out who owns a property, so you can ask the owner if you can visit the place. It is common for some doors to be unlocked on houses, in places far from towns and villages. if the key hangs visibly on a nail, you know they are not at home, and if the key is in the door lock, they are nearby. If you enter someone's house, even if it's unlocked, you're committing a crime, even if you're just curious and photographing what you see. You are allowed to walk in the forest, if you stay more than 200m from a house.

[@Carolcatsforever]

Bro he is an urban explorer urbex. He doesn’t care if he’s trespassing. This is what urban exploration is.

[@makeitso4793]

It’s urban expiration. Font think any of it is legal unless you get permission but following the laws of UE you show respect and do no harm. It is a way for people to be remembered and not forgotten. You never break in and you take nothing. The best laces will eventually fall down and be forgotten, but this is a way to remember them. If the family doesn’t care now.

[@alwaysthesleepless1]

What a lovely property, I really liked the living room. It always makes sad to see photos of people who are no more. Many thanks for the tour.

[@mikaeljakobsson8288]

Johan Svensson married Hilda in 1915. She was 17 years older and had been married before and lived in America 1890--1902. Her daughter from the first marriage emigrated in 1911. Hilda returned alone to New Britain Connecticut in 1925. Johan died in Sweden in 1976.

In the various countries in Europe, do they do something similar to the US Census like we have in America for every town/city? Just a thought I had. TIA for any replies/comments.

[@hitek3943]

This was very interesting to see and listen to as a Swede. Also reading the cruise information letter was cool which is a price list and route list (is that correct word for english?). Its close to the same Swedish as today, but minor differences with spelling with words and lines. Also they mention they had Swedish crew members, classic Swedish food for all classes and medical services. The passengers will also be around a lot of Swedes to comfort the travel. They seem to have taken 3rd class into a better experience with use the deck for walking, nice dining room, lounge and cabins.

[@JoannaLopez-h7t]

This is one of the best explorers that I’ve ever seen! Not only did you find wonderful treasures, but did so extremely respectfully. I love that you look into the actual history of the property. You do an excellent job! This house is truly a museum.

[@MontanaKat1912]

This is what I love about your channel. You are so respectful of the items in abandoned homes. This house gives me a mesum vibe. They really should do that. My great great grandparents came from Sweden to raise a family in Texas. They had 13 siblings. Back in those days, the family lived on the farm in Georgetown, Texas. I don't know if they ever met this family. *shrugs*

In the UK they’re braces and suspenders were ladies for keeping their nylons up. Garters men and children wore to keep their socks 🧦 up.

[@lynnb-TruckCastreauJr]

@@letitiakearney2423 hahaha! In Canada, garters are what women use to keep their hosiery from falling down, so all the men I know called them sock suspenders because they didn't want to be seen as feminine. Different cultures! 😉

Wow Lesley, Sam what an explore. I love this wonderful little place frozen in time. The White Star line information sprung my attention immediately of course to the sinking of the Titanic. Of course, it's common knowledge to see names of individuals who died at sea from the sinking of the Titanic. There is this same name on the list, {the date of his departure doesn't match this man though} but he has a very common name it seems. So, who can say if it is any kinship to him. Thank you for always exploring these wonderful places with the greatest of respect for the owners. I love the Swedish homes I can say that it must had been viscously cold there in the winter of course and not an easy life but yet that is what they were used to, and they knew what it took to live in this place very resilient people. Thank you for showing us this lovely place and the history of how life was in such times.
