Carl Emil Pettersson (October 4 or 23, 1875 – May 12, 1937) was a Swedish sailor who became king of Tabar Island in Papua New Guinea after he was shipwrecked in 1904. He is regarded as the prototype of the Ephraim Longstocking character (Pippi's father) in Astrid Lindgren's children's series, Pippi Longstocking.
Pettersson was one of the six children of Carl Wilhelm and Johanna Pettersson. His father left the family, and CArl went to sea around 1892, at about the age of 17. Later, around 1898, he ended up in the Bismarck Archipelago of German New Guinea, where he worked for the German trading house Neuguinea-Compagnie that had its headquarters in Kokopo. He was shipwrecked in the Pacific Ocean.
