"Up The Baltic; Or, Young America in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark" by Oliver Optic is a fictional narrative written in the late 19th century. As part of the "Young America Abroad" series, this story revolves around a group of young men from the Academy Squadron as they embark on a maritime voyage through Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. The book is anticipated to blend adventure and travel with educational insights into the countries they visit. At the start of the book, we meet the crew of the Young America as they spot a mysterious boat drifting on the North Sea. They discover a small boy, Ole Amundsen, who seems to have been adrift for hours. Ole, who is a Norwegian waif, is taken on board the ship and introduces a sense of intrigue with his evasive nature regarding his circumstances. The narrative then sets sail toward Norway, presenting the crew's anticipations and encounters along the way, while highlighting their trials and camaraderie as they prepare for their explorations of the Scandinavian landscape. The opening serves to establish both a sense of adventure and the broader themes of friendship and discovery that are likely to unfold throughout the journey.
