Finnish Ambassador to the<br />
UK visits the Finland Terminal<br />
On Monday 22nd November, His Excellency<br />
Mr Pekka Huhtaniemi, the Finnish<br />
Ambassador to the Court of St. James’s,<br />
visited the Finland Terminal in Hull.<br />
The Ambassador, who is keen to follow the<br />
development of Finnish business in the UK,<br />
is also interested, like many other Finns, in<br />
history. During the late nineteenth and early<br />
twentieth centuries, two million emigrants<br />
from the Baltic States passed through Hull<br />
on their way to Liverpool before embarking<br />
for Canada and United States of America.<br />
Some 430,000 of these were Finns.<br />
The Ambassador concluded his visit on<br />
Tuesday by boarding the <strong>Finnlines</strong> MS Birka<br />
Trader in Immingham.<br />
