Flying Clipper Loggbok (Logbook)

A book by Staffan Wettre, Jonas Wettre and Gunnar Stenström with the contribution of Paul Ruscha, Arne Alfredsson, Magnus Krook and Joar Svanvik.

In 1959 from June 9 to August 17, Staffan Wettre and Gunnar Stenström had the opportunity to enter the three masted Topsail Schooner Flying Clipper together with 12 other sailors as crew members on deck. The ship was heading to the Mediterranean from Gothenburg. It was the former chairman of Encyclopaedia Britannica, William Benton, who rented the ship for his American guests, among them was the former president candidate Adlai Stevenson.

Staffan's photography and Gunnar’s art can now be viewed in this book. An exhibition at Gallery Oliven in Gothenburg, Sweden is showing this amazing body of work published by Wettre Forlag.
