Refugee boats Elsa and Olinde,” Eesti Teataja, November 21, 1948

Olinde

The Olinde arrived in Buenos Aires at about the same time as the Elsa but there is little information about it. Eesti Teataja in Sweden reported on November 21, 1948, that two refugee boats had arrived in Buenos Aires: the 43-ton Elsa and the 27-ton Olinde

The article noted 70 refugees were on the two boats, including Finns, German, Latvians, Lithuanians, and Russians, none of whom had visas. Since there were 65 passengers on the Elsa, five people must have arrived on the Olinde, but no further information is available.
