Pettersson c. 1890

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 inspiration for Ephraim Longstocking, 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.

During a trip in the Pacific, Pettersson's vessel, the Herzog Johan Albrecht (Duke Johan Albrecht) sank on December 25, 1904 outside the Tabar Island in New Ireland Province. He went ashore near the village Teripax where he started in the copra trade and managed to create his own coconut plantation that he called Teripax. In 1907 he married Singdo-Misses, the daughter of the local chief, Lamy.

In popular culture

In 2004, Joakim Langer researched Pettersson's family history in Papua New Guinea and wrote two books entitled In Search of Efraim and 'Pippi Longstocking and the King, which influenced the screenplay for Efraim Longstocking and the Cannibal Princess.
