I am trying to find a documentery of 3 men in a 23 ft boat that croused the atlantic back in 1957 or around there. It was on TV and I saw it but can't find it again. I have meny detales of the crosing and all that stuff but I may be in the wrong dept for this and no use putting in a lot of info for nothing. Thanks charlie can you help?
In 1956, Dr. Hannes Lindemann begins the voyage on which he became the first person to cross the Atlantic Ocean in a small boat (17 feet). Lindemann, a German physician on a U.S. Air Force base in Morocco. He wrote a bookAlone at Sea, about his two journeys across the Atlantic Ocean. Battling thirst, hunger, mental disorientation, hallucinations, lack of sleep, and shark encounters, Lindemann successfully sailed alone across the Atlantic in 1956 in 76 days in a Klepper foldboat double seat Aerius to which he added an outrigger and mizzensail. Leaving Las Palmas in the Canary Islands, he reached St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands just after Christmas. His prior crossing was in a 23-foot African dugout canoe in 1955.
So it is Dr Lindemann in 1955 in a 23 foot dugout,
I researched the question too, and Lindemann's trip was the majority of the links... but he was alone. I could not find a story about 3 men crossing in a small boat in the 50s.
leakinleana, are you sure that the story you are looking for is about three men?
The year was 1957
The boat, was a thunderbird...
And yes you got just about everything else right.
I got proff.
