"According to an article in The Omaha World Herald:

"Carl Jansson (he changed it to Johnson upon arriving in America) was a 21-year-old contractor's apprentice when he left Sweden to escape induction into the army. Carrying all he owned in a suitcase, he and some associates slipped over to Copenhagen, Denmark, and then traveled on a cattle boat to Southampton, England. There Johnson would find passage to America, planning to join his brother in the now-defunct town of Swedeburg, near Wahoo in Nebraska's Saunders County. Johnson's boarding pass, now in the hands of the Saunders County Historical Museum in Wahoo, shows he was originally supposed to sail aboard the Adriatic before he was transferred to the Titanic, likely due to a severe coal shortage that was docking many ships."(The Omaha World Herald, April 8, 2012)"
