Terese was born 10 May 1866 in Stugun Sweden to parents Torger Petersen Braa and Nikoline Marie Jakobsdatter Lund. She had three siblings. Terese is the second wife of Nils Boyum. Step son Karl Boyum and his wife Julia Thompson Boyum used to call her Mother Braa when they were speaking about her. Terese immigrated to America in 1884 arriving in Quebec on 18 May 1884 from Liverpool England. The first leg of her journey to America took her from Norway to Hull England by way of the Steamship the HERO. The second leg was on the SS Sardinian which left Liverpool on 10 May 1884. The Sardinian is a famous ship because of it's connection to Guglielmo Marconi and to the Erik Larson Book, Thunderstruck. She married Nils Boyum in 1888 and they four children together. She also helped raise Nil's remaining children, Martha and Karl Boyum. She died in 1898 5 years after the birth of her last child Melvin Arthur Boyum b. 1893. The Sardinian was built in 1874 and launched on June 3 at Greennock by Robert Steele and CO. she was 400 feet by 42.3 feet. Her maiden voyage from Liverpool to Quebec was on July 29th, 1875. Teresa took the Sardinian on May 8th, 1884 from Liverpool England and arrived in Quebec on May 18th. In 1897, a year before Teresa died, the Sardinian was re-engined and her mast were reduced down to two. She ended up being a coal hulk in 1920 and was eventually scrapped at Bilbao in 1938. On November 26th 1901 Marconi and his equipment took a historical trip and were transported by the Sardinian to set up a wireless station at St Johns, Newfoundland. This is where Marconi established the first wireless transmitting station at Marconi House, Rosslare Strand, Co. Wexford to act as a link between Poldhu in Cornwall and Clifden in Co. Galway. He soon made the announcement that on 12 December 1901, using a 152.4-metre (500 ft) kite-supported antenna for reception, the message was received at Signal Hill in St John's, Newfoundland (now part of Canada) signals transmitted by the company's new high-power station at Poldhu, Cornwall. The distance between the two points was about 3,500 kilometres (2,200 mi). If you read the book Thunderstruck by Erik Larson this trip and the Sardinian are mentioned late in the book.
