After World War Two, Estonian refugees living in Sweden didn't feel safe from the reach of the Soviet Union and made the decision to escape further afield by sailing across the Atlantic. Free Winds is a new online exhibition highlighting the extraordinary voyages of thousands of Estonians who secretly fled Sweden in the late 1940s. These brave people risked their lives and sailed in old, battered boats across the Atlantic Ocean to freedom. The Free Winds exhibition was created by The Vabamu Musuem of Occupations and Freedom in Tallinn and can be viewed here.
