PUBLIC DESCRIPTION

A sequence of contemporary wire reports documents the voyage as events unfolded: heavy weather east of Bermuda, Calypso's assistance, repairs in Bermuda, loss of the experimental mast and Moulin à Vent's arrival in Norfolk.

02 / CONTEXT

WHY THIS MATTERS

These reports provide dated evidence for the chronology of the Atlantic experiment. They are especially valuable because they were published during the voyage rather than reconstructed decades later.
