Who was Nils Ericson?

Friherre Nils Ericson was a Swedish mechanical engineer. He became a prominent Swedish canal and railway builder.

Born Nils Ericsson, he was raised to the untitled nobility by king Oscar I of Sweden in 1854, and with this he reverted to a spelling of his surname with only one "s". In 1859 he was made a Friherre, the 403rd such elevation to Sweden's titled nobility.
