Nykarleby

This location is mentioned in the following paragraphs:

(§1101) 22nd. Travelled past JAKOBSTAD and arrived in the evening at NEW KARLEBY, almost as big as Växjö. All the streets are paved with logs instead of with stones. They are laid crosswise like a bridge, which looks pretty. Jakobstad has an unusual harbour in that loading can be carried out direct from the quay.

(§1102) The harbour at New Karleby is on the river 1 1/2 miles from the town; vessels can hardly approach closer than 3 1/2 miles from the town when laden, however.

(§1112) 24th. A different kind of plough was used between New Karleby and Vasa. It was always drawn by a horse, rarely by an ox. If an ox was used, it pulled like a horse and used the same harness; no belly-band. On its back, however, there was a girth like a saddle-girth resting against the withers so that the harness would not slide forward on the ox. This was not used on horses.
