Rosika Schwimmer, Henry Ford, and Louis Lochner, December 3, 1915
01
Artifact Overview
Disgusted by World War I, Henry Ford launched an ill-fated effort to end it in December 1915. He chartered the ship Oscar II to carry citizen-mediators to Europe to negotiate for peace. Participants included activists Rosika Schwimmer of Hungary and Louis Lochner of the United States. But feuding among the delegates sapped Ford's enthusiasm, and his "Peace Ship" expedition failed.
