What's New

What's New: a rare find! -missing for maybe 100 years. The

definitive and most extensive artilce on the Voyage of the FOX. Published by

the Police Gazette in 1896, the year this great cross Atlantic rowing by oar in an open boat took place.

The article confirms and links the legend that the publisher of
the Police Gazette, Richard K. Fox, sponsored this effort and
presented the two Norwegian American seamen, George Harbo and Frank
Samuelsen with solid gold medals for their feat of strength, endurance and courage.

Special thanks to William A. Mays, present Editor and Publisher to the Police

Gazette for his year long search to discover this missing thread to a great story.

Bill Osmundsen, Sculptor
Victor Samuelsen, Project coordinator

A modern Atlantic Ocean crossing by oar only was achieved by Jordan Hanssen and three other men on June 10, 2006. To read Jordan's endorsement of The Fox Sculpture Project click here.
