The Journey of Flying Clipper 2 In 1959 from 9 June to 19 August, my father got the opportunity to enter the three masted Schooner Flying Clipper, and sail this together with 30 other swedish sailors and commanders. The boat was heading to the Mediterranean from Gothenburg. It was the former owner of "Encyclopedia de Britannia" that rented the ship for his American guests, among them was the former president candidate Adlai Stevenson. My father was 17 at this time and this was of course a big adventure, before it went common with traveling. After the journey he came home and cut the film together with his own animations. He used a braun camera with double 8 film, this was -59 before the super 8. The camera had to be "turned up", it was no batteries. We are now working on a photo book together, a Logbook, from the same trip with middle format slides from his Voigtlander. Beautiful images that just getting better with the years. "The Schooner Logbook" will hopefully get out at the 50th anniversary of this trip. But it will contain much more than just this story, it will contain the story of a Schooner.
