The Baggböle sawmill's business methods first came to a head when James Dickson Jr was taken to court in 1850.

[1] Dickson, along with King Oscar II of Sweden and Aleksandr Mikhaylovich Sibiryakov, was the patron of a number of Arctic expeditions in the 19th century.

He sponsored Adolf Erik Nordenskiöld's explorations to the Canadian[3] and the Russian Arctic and Greenland, as well as Fridtjof Nansen's Polar journey on the Fram.

Ever an Arctic enthusiast, Oscar Dickson contributed to sponsor several important Polar ventures between the years 1860 and 1900.

Dickson was ennobled by King Oscar in 1880 and was raised to the status of Baron in 1885, the last person to be so in Sweden.
