This study examines specific cases of irregular trade during the final decades of Swedish Pomerania with help of case material from the city archives in Stralsund and Wismar, as well as contemporary newspaper advertisements from Stralsundische Zeitung, and reflects those in the light of prevalence of overall factors for smuggling, namely the impact of globalization, the grade of organization of a national economy, economic borders and relationship to the Swedish state, as well as modern consump-tion, and the inclination of the individual smuggler. An imbalance both within itself and in comparison with neighboring emerging national states, as a result of weak economic state power in combination with Swedish support for Swedish-Pomeranian sea trade, turned Swedish Pomerania into a smuggler’s haven.
