Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Gravstensgrund: a small skerry in Åland, at the border between Kumlinge and Brändö (just in Kumlinge territory) where in an ice cold november night in 1773, ten people, amongst them the Swedish 27-year old lieutenant Gustaf Adolph Taube, sailed in an open sailing boat from Stockholm back to Turku and were smashed by a southeastern storm on this rock and capsized. Only two men survived this adventure and could be saved two anxious days later. NB The island was at that time much smaller than nowadays, because the land rises almost a meter every century.
Nederlands: Gravstensgrund: een klein rotseilandje in Åland, op de grens van Kumlinge en Brändö (nog net binnen gemeentegrens van Kumlinge) waarop in een ijskoude novembernacht van 1773 tien mensen, waaronder de Zweedse 27-jarige leutenant Gustaf Adolph Taube, in een open zeilboot van Stockholm naar Turku reisden en door de zuidoosterstorm op deze rots werden gekwakt en kapseisden. Slechts twee manschappen overleefden het en werden twee angstige dagen later gered. NB Het eiland was destijds veel kleiner dan nu, omdat het land elke eeuw bijna een meter stijgt.
