The article could have been worded better like "Back in 1890, a 13-year-old boy named Emerich Juettner boarded a ship in what is now known as present day Croatia..." Either way, I'm not sure I buy that or not. Based on the area's geography alone at the time, it would have made much more sense to board a ship in Venice.
I'd stopped reading the article as soon as I'd read that, so I went back and gave it another chance. Wherever he boarded the ship, it's still a cool story.
