Christina Hultberg and the fisherman’s wife statue

(Fisherman’s wife= is the name that Karlskrona tourist website uses for this statue. )

Welcome to the heart of Carlskrona, this market place was my savior. Here I and other women made our living; we rowed in to this market place to sell our fish that we worked hard for.

In 1982 this statue called the fisherman’s wife was created by Eric Höglund to remind you of al the hard work we had to go thru to survive. Make sure that you also take a photograph here, because this is the most photographed statue in Carlskrona.

The market place is over 300 yeas and during my time it was more alive than it is now. This was not only a place where I soled fish, it was a place where all the groceries came in to Carlskrona.

Now in the 21th, this old marketplace is used for the archipelago traffic and a lot of small boats anchor here. The Archipelago has around ninety islands and Hasslö modern fishing culture has traces back to my time. Another island that is popular is Aspö where you can experience history or just enjoy the summer.

If you are interested in visiting one of the islands you can take one of the archipelago traffic boats or if you want more info about Carlskrona you can visit Blekinge Museum which is located…

Enjoy your day in Carlskrona it is a wonder full city and that is the reason why I am still here.


first draft on how my part of the script might look like.

Pictures & Phones

Guys, regarding the pictures. Maybe we should decide upon a day when we just meet up and take some pictures of the places together? Using the old photographs as references, we could try and make exact matches of places with pictures that we take. What do you think? Maybe we can decide on a day when we can do this when we meet up on Friday. Maybe we can even do it on Friday after we meet and discuss voices and the script? It's a suggestion, but if it doesn't work for everyone, we'll decide on another day. But this is where we stand on pictures and Photoshopping at the moment (and by now you know I like making lists):
  • I will be working with photos of the Marketplace
  • Therese will be working with photos of the bay and the Fishing Woman
  • Emelie will probably be working with pictures of Teatergatan, yes?
  • We also need to create our ghosts
Non-photography related things:
  • We need to rename Ernst Moritz Arndt to a female
  • Start seriously working on a script and work through it together, starting with the Graveyard
  • Start recording voices, sounds and putting together our book
Also, we need to exchange the phone numbers of our big, clumsy-looking (but cool) phones. Please write down your phone number here (and those who don't have a phone yet can do it when they do) and then lets add each other to the contact list.

Mine is 073-0370343. See you guys on Friday 1pm, and Cecilia, good luck on your trip!

Some pictures of the cemetery and as Tess and I talk about adding an old picture of fisktorget
It would be good to have a current version of that image as well.
I guess a few pictures of inside the shipyards would be good as well, but that might be a bit hard so what ever we can get is good.

About the voices, I have written down what we have at the moment

-Törström
- Female Traveler
- Male Traveler
- Some voice to start (evamarie)
- The voice at the end

I would like to add one thing to Cissi list and that is
we need to think about what we should talk about at the top of hill before fisktorget, we really need something there.

Walkabout with Fredd

Well, todays walk with Fredd and Spikol went really good. They were both positive and that feels good for the whole group.

Now we just hope for no more red days in Israel so that we can get the technical parts working and explained to us. I will cross my fingers for next week guys!!!

Me and Tessa talked a little bit when we had a coffee and besides getting all the phones and the technicalities around them we also need to:

# Mixmatch photos in photoshop for each place/stop of the tour.
# Make a list of voices for our characters
# Find external sounds; horse feet, market voices, seagulls and so on
# Start writing the script
# Think about concept for our book.

Any way, I had a great time today.... man are we good or what. Thank you all for being such a great group to work with.

Love Cj

The Shipyard

Hello my dear friends

I did not have any good information about the shipyard on my computer so I found some online instead for us.
Now all this is in Swedish of course so I will not put it up hear for now since I don't know what kind of tone or how we are to tell this information.

I will do print us a copy each and bring to school tomorrow and we can have look at it then and talk about it.

See you tomorrow.

"Fun" facts about Törnström

  • Born 18 of April 1744, died 2nd of February (we think) 1828.
  • Had 10 children, two wives. (we think.)
  • Was not satisfied with his pay and had several arguments with Chapman where he threatened to quit working for him.
  • Wanted to go to Italy but never went there. In fact, he never got out of Sweden. We think.
  • Excerpt from article: "I remember specifically this one time when my economy was completely devastating. Then I just took up a big poster and wrote with big letters 'For Sale and Leaving For England'. I put it up on my door, not far away from Chapman's own house. I knew that if I did it as loudly as I could, he would want to know what I'm up to. He was well known for always having his binoculars at hand, and this was true for this time as well. From his window he could read about my departure for England and if there's one thing he didn't want, it was having me leave for Enlgnad with my artwork. He helped me with some money that time, but I could never really trust his promises."
  • He liked drawing on the walls of his workshop with coal. "It's a quirk I have, drawing on walls. As soon as I know what I want the figurehead to look like, I find an empty spot on the wall and draw it. I always draw with coal which means that when the walls have become too cluttered, I can just wash it off."
  • Once Chapman wasn't satisfied with one of his figureheads and said "Someone who has such a large piece of wax can make this model in just a couple of minutes." Törnström got angry about this, clutched his wok to a ball of wax and handed it over to Chapman saying "Here you go, do it in a couple of minutes then."

Marketplace and Shipyard

Friedrich Wilhelm Schubert

(I'll just write down some facts and descriptions from his story)

"In Blekinge you can find many beautiful women, oh yeah. Beauty is not particularly rare here, it's actually the ugly women that are difficult to find here, strangely enough! Not that I have any idea why you'd want to look for them.. Yes, the people of Blekinge in beautiful. You can always see it when they're happy, you can see how they are filled with independence and confidence without having it turn into arrogance, which often happens with other people. The people of Blekinge are loyal and hard-working, devoted to religion and church, king and master." (Then he describes people's clothing, I can add this in later if you want)

"In their expressions they are serious and thoughtful, combining this with kindness and a genuine zest for life, and their strength, honesty and loyalty is easily recognizable amongst a crowd of others. In Blekinge most people complain about the loss of traditions and decency, brought about by wine and the many taverns of Carlscrona."

"Carlscrona itself, built at the end of the 18th Century, has a very pleasant look. It has broad, in places a bit uneven streets and two marketplaces, the grand one and (Amiralitetstorget). Most of the houses have been built in stone.

The first thing I did when I came to Carlscrona was visit major Carl Petersson, whom I had recommendations for. The man greeted me warmly and since I had only a limited amount of time to spend in the city, he immediatelly took me to the strangest part of Carlscrona, the walled-off military area of the docks and the shipyard, all belonging to the naval army of Sweden. First we saw the docks, one of the most comfortable and safest in all of Europe; many battle ships were lined up there with as many as 74 cannons each, and some smaller ships (fregatter). There was one called Skärgårdsfregatten which could also be used for more shallow depths; at the front of the ship there were several figureheads reflecting on the name of the ship; the beautiful works of the figurehead artist Johan Törnström. From the 1500 foot long bridge we had a beautiful overview of the sea and the islands ahead. Right ahead lies Aspö and Tjurkö, between which is the main entrance into the docks. Further on there's an entrance for the smaller ships of the fleet at Arpösund and in the east there's an even smaller entrance called Skällesund. I went on one of the battleships (?..linjeskepp); it was about 170 foot long, 30 foot wide and had three canon decks, one level for groceries and one for anchors and shipment."

He also talks about Lindholmen, something he calls 'the famous old dock', the place where they repair the ships and send them out to sea (built by Polhelm). If this is of any relevance to us, please let me know and I will type it up.

"The new docks with many new departments, built west of the old ones, were a pleasant sight. Director Thunberg started building these in 1775 during the reign of Gustav III. While I was there, they were building a new battle ship with 80 canons. Close nearby you can find Törnströms figurehead workshop where after modelling the figureheads are cut in wood. "

He also gives a good description of the inside of the German Church and its history, Cicci you might want to borrow this book tomorrow. :P

The German Church


The German Church

Oh, finally. The good thing whit those stairs is that there aren’t that many of them. I hate stairs, and as you can understand, I am only getting older by the day.
Well well, this is my church. Well, not really MY church, but I would like to think so. You see, as I said before, I did a lot of work on the interior of this church. The church is called the German Church since, in its early days, it was used by the germen community here in Karlskrona. But its real name is The Holy Trinity Chruch and it was built and planned by a man called Hans
Wachtmeister in the late 17th century…(whispering) the leader of the germens here in town.
Anyway, that is not way we are here. I wanted to show you my things inside. I am very proud of my work. There were of course other designers, if we my call them that, working on the church to.
I got my chance after the big fire. Nicodemus Tessin has made the roof inside the church. He was inspired by Pantheon in Rom. (daydreaming) I never went to Italy. I wanted though, but I never went.

Let’s go inside shell we? Come on then.

(inside) Ohh, look at those colons there. Aren’t they beautiful? I made those you know, with the leaves on the lower part and the straight lines on the top. All by hand! There were no machines back then…in my living time. It was hard work, but I had some help by my son.
And look at the ceiling! I’ve painted that, and made the decorations for it. Today, my church is a part of UNESCO’s world’s inherited and has been so since 1998.

Oh well, we can’t stand in here all day. Let’s go out and see what all the noises on the marketplace are about.


More information will come after I have seen or seen pictures from the inside of the church.

Marketplace - Part I

Ernst Moritz Arndt.

"Come here, young travellers, and let me take you back in time and tell you about Karlskrona as I saw it when I was here back in 1804. My name is Ernst, Ernst Moritz Arndt, and as you maybe can tell I am German by heritage. In the year of 1804 I was travelling through Sweden, observing and writing down everything I saw. Karlskrona was then one of the youngest, but still one of the most beautiful cities in the entire Sweden. It's built on several islands and you have to go over many bridges and islands until you get to the city itself, islands such as Wämmö, Panter- and Pottholmen. The island on which the main city is built is named Trossö. It belonged to a farmer and fisherman named Veit Andersson, who completely refused to give it up to Carl the Eleventh and claimed the island as his property when Carl wanted to make the base of his fleet here. Then the king had to take him from his home and keep him in the dungeons for some time before he would finally give up. There's still a street named after him here, Vitusgatan. The little house he lived in stood there until 1773 until it was torn down to give room for the current building, which is the Town Hall (rådhus)." (Guys? We can show the tourists this, right? )

"After the terrible fire of 1790, as I see it in front of my eyes right now, the city looks completely different. Only the poorest and most ill-kept houses on Lilla and Stora Björkholmen were spared from the fire, which is pretty ironic don't you think? Yes, the rich masters had all their houses burnt to the ground and the poor got to keep theirs. One could almost say it was punishment.. But anyway. The city was rebuilt, to be stronger and more beautiful than ever before, and the wounds from the horrible happenings have now almost been completely healed. They have tried to even out some of the streets with stones and some of the prisoners from (ankarsmedjan?) are still working on this. But it's pretty difficult since Trossö and the other islands consist of hard rocks and cliffs. Many of the Houses are built on solid rock and to walk along the streets is like constantly climbing a mountain, up and down, up and down. I'm sure you already know what I'm talking about, don't you?

You are standing in the most beautiful location in the city - the marketplace! Even the greatest cities in Europe cannot show a more majestic centre of the city. But maybe it would look better if it weren't for all the churches? Look, the big Swedish church stands in the middle and the German on one side, which we just came from. Did you know that it was ravaged by the fire as well? Yes, but it is now restored in a very tasteful shape, it's inside as simple as its outside. The church and the house of the landlord are the most beautiful buildings of the marketplace, wouldn't you say?"

I know this guy is lacking some sense of humour, I was hoping you'd help me with that. There's also the matter of the second traveller, Friedrich Wilhelm Schubert, I'll put his story up later.

- Eva.

Where?!

Guys, I just realized that we did set a meeting for Monday at 2 pm, but we failed to specify where it was going to take place. :P So I propose that we meet at the German Church because this time we're going to go through the tour in a chronological order, okay? Oh, and just to write it down here:

The Five Parts of Our Törnström Tour and Who Is Responsible For Each:
  • Törnströms Grave - Christian.
  • German Church - Cecilia.
  • Marketplace - Eva.
  • Törnströms House and Old Theatre - Emelie.
  • Fishing Woman - Therese.
And then of course we'll have to tie all of it together and provide the tourists with information and entertainment as they go from place to place. Okay guys! More information about my part will be coming up here later today. Chris and Cicci, (and maybe Emelie?) - see you on Monday! I will bring those notes with me Emelie, if you'll be there.

- Eva.

Old, Old Theatre (Chapmans Material shed) and House of John Törnström (Teatergatan 14)

Törnström House:

Here, you have to stand here on the corner facing the factory (?) and if you look hard you can see piece of a blue roof. That is as close to where my house used to we can get, Teatergatan 14 was my home for almost 50 years ( If I counted right) ….

Törnström Theater;

Do you see the brow brick building just on the other side of the road until 1970’s there used to be a theater there, simply called the Old Theater but what is lesser know that before the Old theater was place there, there was another Theater in that exact spot, They called it Chapman’s Material Shed. That I help to decorate so it was fit to entertain His Royal Highness King Gustav the Third. My Theater was replaced with the new Old Theater in 1887…

Okej I have tried to give an idea about what might be said in my part, remember that this is just a rough sketch. The part about his home will get more content, I thought that it might be a good place to talk about his family but wanted to check that no one else wanted to use that info. I am not sure which order these two sections should come. And Eva could you bring the notes you took about the theater on Monday?

Emme

The graveyard --> The German Church

Eva-Marie:

Welcome everyone to this tour, regarding the life and contemporary time period of my great, great, great grandfather (depending on the number of generations), the admiralty figure head carver Johan Törnström. He lived and worked in here in Karlskrona between 1781 and 1828 by the naval shipyard, but his interest for figure carving he developed at an early age, still living and working in Stockholm… Oh, I’m sorry. I better stop talking and let you go instead. You will be given more information during the tour about Törnström himself, but also about Karlskrona in the turn of 18th century. Take care, everyone!

Törnström:

Is she gone? I thought she’d never stop talking. Anyway, welcome to my grave! I know it is not much, but then you should have seen my first grave. I’m glad they chose to place my tomb stone here. Anyway, you’re all gathered here to participate in a tour showing and telling parts of my life and what was going on here in Karlskrona at the time, right? [Yes] Great! Well then, why don’t we get started!

As I said, this is not the place where I was first buried. A monument was raised here in (what year?) in order for people to go visit my grave. Actually I have been quite involved with the interior of this church in front of you, why don’t you follow me out of the graveyard, through the gates and up the stairs of the church and I will show you!

[Over to you, Cecilia]

I was not sure of what kind of tone or language to go with, so I tried to give it a kind of light tone, as we discussed earlier this week. About the content, if there’s a need for more informative content I don’t think there will be a problem.

See you Monday! It was 2 p.m. right?

“Ficherman’s Wife”

Fisktorget is the hub of archipelago traffic and home of Erik Höglund´s sculpture "Fisherman´s Wife". This statue represents the women that rowed in from the islands and soled their fish here.
This aria is more than 300 years old and it has been a place where food to Karlskrona’s citizens arrived. Wachtmeisters family was the first ones to ship their products to Grevagården, later on this place has been a place for trading not only for trading fish.
In the beginning of the 20th century they had a market-hall here.
Today Fiskartorget is used for the archipelago traffic and a lot of small boats anchor here. The “Ficherman’s Wife” statue is one of the most photographed.

There were not a lot of information about the “Fisherman’s Wife” but this is what I have found so fare.

//Tessa

Sounds and smells in Karlskrona

Sounds from the horses iron shoes, squeaking noise from the carriages, small talks, yelling and screaming. You could hear hammers hitting the iron if you waked past a yard were a shoemaker, smith or joiner worked.

On the streets there where spilling from the animals, dogs and pigs went thru the butchers waste because Karlskrona was a large city it could take several days before the waste was removed from the streets.

A lot of Craftsmen were working with materials that also contributed with odor in the city for example, painters, fishermen, bakery and founder to mention a few. And the salt water also contributed with a smell from tar and pitch.

The streets

They were hilly and uneven, the streets was made of sand, pitch or bare rocks.

It would be an idea if we could find some sounds that represents the things that I have described.

I remember that Blekinge museum played a tape with horse on when we where there, if we can get the sound from them or if we can find something ourselves.

A summary of today's meeting

Today we sat down and looked at the locations/characters we want to include in our guided tour, and started thinking about how we're going to represent the information in terms of narration and voices. So far this is how our ideas for the tour look like:
  • Start at Törnströms grave. If possible, EvaMarie's voice gives a small introducation about who he was. Then Törnströms ghost appears and in a rather positive, jovial tone starts talking about his life.
  • He then beckons the tourists into the German Church where he talks about the restauration process. There we meet a traveller, Erns Moritz Arndt, and Törnströms ghost retreats for a while.
  • The traveller leads the tourists out of the church and around the marketplace, telling them about the great fire and the buildings around them. (Pictures and illustrations appearing on the mobile phone).
  • Somewhere along the way they meet another traveller, Friedrich Wilhelm Schubert, who continues leading the tourists around the marketplace, telling them about the people of Karlskrona and the story of Lisa Schröder until we reach The Theatre.
  • There Törnströms ghost reappears and talks about the restauration of the theatre and the fact that most of his work has been painted over, which he is annoyed about. The tourists will proceed to Teatergatan where Törnström used to live.
  • From there they will be led to a hill that overlooks The Shipyard where Törnström used to do most of his work.
  • The story will end at the statue of the Fishing woman who will summarize the narrative and provide some final insight into the history of Karlskrona, and beckon the tourists to enter Blekinge museum which is nearby.
Our intention is to make the tour light and amusing, since we are focusing mostly on families with children as our main target group. Some alterations to this storyline will probably be made tomorrow when we will take a tour through the sites and start working on a script, but it is a good draft to have. See you all tomorrow at 12.45 by the museum!

- Eva.

Regarding the Report

Hey guys, just letting everyone know that I have sent off our project report to Fred and Lissa, and you all should have received it as well, so I hope it's okay. See you tomorrow 10 o/c in Delta!

- Eva.

Additional, or repeated, ideas for script and content.

I mostly agree with you others. The tour should definitely include the German church and Teatergatan, where Törnström used to live. Using the fish woman (as I prefer to name her, mohaha) is a great way to apply more historical facts to the narrative without making it boring and extremely linear.

Also, as Therese says to stress on how Karlskrona may have looked and smelled in those days would be an interesting feature, which I really think we could focus a bit on and apply into the final narrative.

As for me, I have not found any special characters from the books I’ve read. They’re mostly covering his life story from birth to death, focusing explicitly on his work and relationship to the king and Chapman. Perhaps we could add somewhere that Törnströms ship drawings always was signed by Chapman before being sent to the king. Törnström served in the shadows of Chapman and consequently he did not earn the same amount of fame, or money as Chapman. Also, Törnström became a freemason in 1796 and was “recruited” to the Royal Academy of Painting and Building in 1803. When this happened he was already over 50 years old.

Perhaps it is not only necessary to focus on the figureheads he made. I mean, we also talked about him having, copying Therese, helped restoring the German church after the fire and he also made a monument in the memory of Chapman as he passed away. He also made many drawings, proving his talents in artistry.

Over and out for now, see you all in the morning!

Lisa Schröder

4 June 1788 Lisa Schröder , 44 years, was found in Köpmans Kjellbergs well. She was known for her drinking , but the morning she was sober, but she never returned. She was last seen at three o’clock in the evening by Ingrid Marie, she saw Lisa standing by Kjellbergs well.

They did not report her missing later that night and they found her in the well.

The court decided that she had fallen into the well, and it was lucky for her otherwise she would have been buried in the forest together with the animals.

Did she fall in or did some one kill her?

More ideas!

The book I've been reading, "Resor till Carlskrona" (1750-1860) contains several very interesting first-person narratives which we could definitely use in our tour, just to have some 'voices from the past' come in when the tourists are walking through the marketplace perhaps, or Västerudd/Teatergatan, just as if they were passing by on their way to someplace, stopping by for a moment, bumping into the tourists, saying something and then continuing walking. That would be like actually hearing, almost feeling the presence of ghost figures all around you in the middle of Karlskrona. Some suggestions:
  • Johan Georg Kerner - He mentions Törnström in his diary from a trip to Karlskrona in 1802, where he talks about one of his figurines - Venus - and the amazing craftsmanship of his works.
  • Erns Moritz Arndt - He has a very vivid description of the marketplace from 1804 where he also mentions the fire. and the fisherman who owned Karlskrona before the king threw him in the dungeons. He also talks about what people are wearing and the structure of the city. I can translate a small portion of it: "The most beautiful location in the city is the marketplace, even the greatest cities in Europe cannot show a more majestic place. It's almost rectangular andwould leave an even better impression if it weren't for the churches; the big Swedish church stands in the middle and the German on one side. The last one was ravaged by the fire as well and is now restored in a very tasteful shape, it's inside as simple as its outside. The church and the house of the landlord are the most beautiful buildings of the marketplace."
  • Friedrich Wilhelm Schubert - In 1817 he gives a very good description of the people that live in Karlskrona, what they look like and what they are wearing. He also speaks of his visit to the docks and mentions Törnströms figureheads.
I'm interested in that story about Lisa Schröder, the corpse in the wall - is this wall far off from the centre of the city, and is it actually still there?

And yes, on Monday we meet in Delta 10.00, unless someone's going to have a class in there, then we can just go somewhere else, maybe the library.

- Eva.

P.S. For those of us in the DigCult class, if you want to you could also add those accounts to this blog, just go to Settings - Permissions - and add your e-mail adress, then accept the invitation. It might make things easier if you can just combine the two blogs and don't have to sign in/out everytime.

Script ideas

I agree with Tess that the german church is a given
place to use, the grave and painting and so on.

I would also like to add Västerudd/Teatergatan as a location.
We can use this location both to talk about his everyday life and his work.
We just have to decide the exact place for this.

And as we talk about using the fisherwoman as a location to bring forward
both the fire and the common people of Karlskrona.

Making the narrative first person seems to smartest thing to do and using "first hand" accounts
of Karlskrona during the late 18th and early 19th century.

Emme

Some suggestion

Johan Törnström

He helped with the restoration of the German church after the fire. He painted the ceiling, pulpit (pedikstol) and the altar.

Suggestions to a script:

· Explain how Törnström created his “galjonsfigurer”

Regular people and their lives:

· Describe what Karlskrona looked like and smelled.

· Maybe bring up something about the market place. What people did there, where was it?

People’s stories

· “The border between being a kid and an adult- twelve years and punished for robbery”

· “Chatarina Eneroth- volunteer wife” story about how a woman handled the war.

· “Lisa Schröder- the corp in Kjellbergs well” why did she end up there?

If something interests you pleas let me know and I can post a more detail description about the stories.

Where are we going to meet on Monday? Delta?

EvaMarie phone meeting

I talked to EvaMarie today and asked her about her farfars-farsfars-farfar. I did not make a appointment to met her because I think it is to early, because we do not know so much about her relative. I just asked her a couple of questions where she had found info about her relative, and she had gotten most of her info from the marine museum. So maybe we can get more info and books from them. She also told me that the artist side have lived on in the family and she and her boys are very artistic, furthermore her father (Gunnar), grandfather (Sixten) and her great grand father (Isidor) have been active artists and painters. She had also designed the previous marine museums homepage.
She was in the car when I called her, but she remembered that Tornström had designed something on or inside a
church in Karlskrona but she did not remember which one it was. We might be able to find it or we can contact her again.
I also asked if we could use her and her name in our tour, and she did not have any problems with that, (if we need to).
I said to her that we might call back if we need more info or if we need to meet with her, when we have more info about him and if there is something missing she might have the answer for us.

She was really nice to talk to.

Hope that you all have a great Easter

"Faktarummet"

Dear group members.

I have got an answer from Karin Nilsson at faktarummet at the museum.

We are booked for a meting on Tuesday the 17 of April at 13.00

Lets meet at the museum at that time and then maybe we can take a coffee after and go through where we stand in the project.

I will be off to Spain on Saturday, as you all know, and I will be back next Sunday.
I will do my reading and try to get my eyes on a internet-cafe during the week to get back to you on my findings.

Have a nice week and see you on the 17th

Love CJ

Meeting with Lissa

We have scheduled a meeting with Lissa 12 April at 13.00.
We are going to discuss our Ideas and where we are in our project.
And do not forget to come up with questions for her.


See you all there

Work in progress

We have had a session today about how to represent narratives through images and video. We did this by using the new phones that we are going to use for this project.

We have in the group also divided up the reading material among us so that we can get a better idea of who Johan Törnström is.
This reading will hopefully be done till Thursday the 12 of April.

We will put up our opinions of the readings here on the blog.
