About this audio guide
This guide to Sarabong Park looks north over Jeju's harbor to trace one of the island's stranger migrations: a 1920s steamer route to Osaka that carried tens of thousands of islanders chasing factory wages. It follows the price war between the shipping company that controlled the route and a cooperative of Jeju migrants who pooled their wages to buy a rival ship in 1930. Listen for how that fight over a single ferry fare still echoes in Osaka's Tsuruhashi district today.
