It is said about Käsmu in the 1930ies that in 100 households there were 62 sea captains. A record, probably, and hard to beat now that ships are fewer even if larger.
Said in a very interesting book, Pintsliga tõmmatud Eesti - Estonia by paintbrush (well, Estonia by paintings) .
The book: the two authors have for about 150 beuatiful, interesting, ... landscapes in Estonia found a painting, and tell about the landscape and nature, the artist, the painting. Wonderful.
