Abandoned Atlantic Crew Miles Project Rescued Steamer Walter Wellman
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history when newspaperman Walter Wellman embarked on a daring mission to cross the Atlantic in America - 1. Designed by Wellman himself, this ambitious project aimed to make aviation history in October 1910. However, just 100 miles into the journey, the crew was forced to abandon their mission due to treacherous weather conditions.
Despite facing adversity and having their dreams of crossing the Atlantic dashed, the crew's story did not end there. Thanks to the timely intervention of a steamer, they were rescued from danger and brought back to safety. This dramatic turn of events serves as a reminder of both the perils and triumphs that come with pushing boundaries and exploring new frontiers.
Through this historical snapshot captured by Mary Evans Picture Library, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the courage and determination of those who dared to defy limits and challenge conventional wisdom. The legacy of Walter Wellman's America - 1 lives on as a testament to human ingenuity and resilience in the face of adversity.
