The Old Man and the Sea

OUTLINE

Jouni meets John in Helsinki to deal with a local communication company. They later take a ferry to Tallinn, as Jouni's grandmother did with her mother 70 years earlier.

Trying to dig in to her past in Tallinn, she hears about the legend of a U-boat which disappeared into the Baltic with tons of German gold bars on board...

The legend comes from a now deceased drunken Estonian fishing trawler captain who used to tell a tale to bar acquaintance just before his death in the seventies. He was claiming to have sold stolen Russian diesel to a drifting German U-Boat at the end of the war and of having been paid in gold bars. One surviving bar acquaintance claims to having been shown a gold bar bearing a Swastika by the Captain.
