There are 33 total locations of East Empire Company strongboxes in Solstheim, giving a profit of 16,500 gold if you can find them all. Most of the strongboxes are at locations marked on your map, but for those which are in unmarked locations, the entry for the "Location" column is the location from which it is easiest to find the strongbox. Certain strongboxes are marked as owned, which means taking from them is considered stealing, except in cases where you have raised the owner's disposition high enough.
