About

Chronicles the incredible 1896 journey of Norwegian immigrants George Harbo and Frank Samuelsen.

In 1896, the two Norwegian immigrants from the New Jersey coast set out to attain their piece of the American Dream by risking their lives to achieve the seemingly impossible. Their hope was to attract worldwide attention and lucrative lecture and exhibition fees if they succeeded.

Chronicles their incredible - and nearly fatal - row across the Atlantic in a tiny, eighteen-foot boat with no sail, no steam engine, not even a rudder to aid them as they struggled with storms, a capsize, hunger, relentless fatigue, great mental hardship, and near collisions with ships, whales, and an iceberg.

Despite these obstacles, Harbo and Samuelsen rowed the 3,000 miles in an amazing fifty-five days.

Includes monochrome images.
