It's either a fake story or the author is a moron.

From the article, "Back in 1890, a 13-year-old boy named Emerich Juettner boarded a ship in Austria..."

Last time I checked, Austria is land-locked. Kind of hard to board a ship in a land-locked country.

If this was in 1890, then Austria would’ve been a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which had sea access through what is now Croatia.

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.
