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!
