Dear Editor,
I read an article recently by your writer Stanley Fine called “Courageous or Crazy? Two Men Crossing The Atlantic In a Rowboat” (March 2015 Issue).
I am from Farsund, Norway, the home town of Frank Samuelsen and would like to thank you for rightfully bringing your readers’ attention to these two Norwegian adventurers and their accomplishments.
WestView News has fittingly revealed the amazing story of their incredible 3000-mile voyage from Manhattan to Le Havre, powered by nothing but four strong arms!
Harbo and Samuelsen are finally being celebrated with deserved recognition with the unveiling by me of a seven foot bronze monumental statue in Farsund on July 11th, 2015. It is my hope and plan that I will find a place for a second cast of the same monument to be placed in New York City’s downtown Manhattan area.
If any of your readers would be able to assist me with this project, it would be very welcomed.
Thank you.
Victor Samuelsen
