Toivo (ship, 1871)
''Toivo'' ( en, Hope) was a frigate built in 1871 at the Toppila shipyard in Oulu, Grand Duchy of Finland, Finland (then a part of the Russian Empire) for Tradehouse J. W. Snellman. ''Toivo'' was re-rigged as a bark (ship), bark in 1880. She sailed for Tradehouse J. W. Snellman until 1888, when she was sold to Eriksen & Gjersöe, Sweden-Norway. The ship is believed to have been taken out of service in 1895. Actions of the ''Toivo''s first captain Henrik Wilhelm Snellman Junior are the subject of the Finnish Traditional folk music, folk protest song "Laiva Toivo, Oulu", set to the melody of "Marching Through Georgia". The lyrics of the song, which paint H. W. Snellman in an unsymphatetic light, were probably written by Jaakko Haataja, who was the second mate of the ''Toivo'' on her third voyage from Europe to East Asia in 1874–1875.#Kaukiainen, Kaukiainen, pp. 10–13, 26–29.
