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
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]
