Gunilla
 |
Built on the east cost of Sweden in 1939, she was converted to a motor ship in the 1950's. In 1997 she was bought by MBV and has been restored to sail as a school ship. |
 |
Over the winter of 1998/9, working in Sweden with my colleague Ingemar Johansson a new figure was carved, taking measurements and drawings from the original, which is now in the maritime museum in Oakarshamn. The figure nearing completion. |
 |
She is carved from Swedish pine, and laminated, in the same manner as the original. |
 |
She patiently waits, looking very feminine, and vulnerable to meet the ship whose bow she will adorn |
 |
Dressed in her fine colours she now looks at home with her ship, and ready to explore the world. |
