Thanks to Captain Morgan for sending it to me.

Who is John Victor Johnson???

I guess you're curious about the name.
John Victor Johnson is credited for being The Original FTF!
Well, maybe not, but he is believed to be the first Finn to emigrate to Florida in 1903. Please take the time to read some wonderful history of his travels which was chronicled by his grand-daughter.

The background art is a painting by Helena Tiainen (another Finn!) named "A Night in the Woods"

Captain Morgan's treasure is filled with goodies all from Finland and also a really cool travel bug - Snufkin alias Nuuskamuikkunen
