Amelia Earhart Leaving Burry Port in the "Friendship," June 19, 1928
01
Artifact Overview
Amelia Earhart and her Friendship crewmates, Wilmer Stultz and Louis Gordon, had intended to fly from Newfoundland to Southampton, England, in June 1928. Instead, they landed off Burry Port, Wales. It did not matter. When the trio came ashore, some 2,000 people -- nearly the entire population of Burry Port -- came out to see the woman who had conquered the Atlantic Ocean.
