![Flying Dutchman [1991]](dp_7224_sm.jpg)
Additional credits:
Second try of three 1970s paintings with the Flying Dutchman as subject.
Barks began this painting in 1972, and finished it in 1991.
Paintings "Flying Dutchman [72-23]" and
"Flying Dutchman [72-25]" are the other ones.
Backstage: In a July 26, 1972 letter to Donald Ault, Barks explained that he abandoned the second try and started over so only the 1st and the 3rd were completed. This painting was eventually finished together with the other two, before January 1973, but Barks never sold it. Sometimes, thru the years, he went back to it and tinkered with it.

Additional credits: At the request of owner Steve Geppi, Barks retouched »Wishing Well [71-20]« into this new version. Most noticable are the changes in the background: the trees of the 1971 version were replaced by the industry silhouette and Scrooge's money bin. Also, a horseshoe-shaped halo (or rainbow) was added in the background.

Questions:
Has this material been published?
Alternatively, the painting is described as Glomgold destroying Scrooge's
smoke signs with the propellers of his helicopter. Which description is
right? (Or is Flintheart both sprinkling water and using his propellers?)
