Gullman, Sven H
Books, Manuscripts
Well illustrated Swedish-language book. It tells the story of Swedish fishermen, especially from the Bohuslan area, who regularly fished from Shetland, particularly Unst. It also describes the work between 1901 and 1910 to build and open their own "Swedish Kirk" in Baltasound in Unst. Active as a church till 1961, it later became an auction hall and finally the Unst Boat Museum. It was destroyed during the New Year Storm in 1992. Includes detail of the fishing boats involved and their home ports.
