About this audio guide
This guide to Vrångö, the southernmost island of Gothenburg's archipelago, turns on May 1823, when four men attacked a Danish ship far out beyond the Skagen strait. It follows Johanna Hård, a poor widow of the islands with a smuggling charge already behind her, and the question the court then had to face. Best heard down by the harbour, among the white boathouses.
