King Winter Raced Down Greenland Coast Adventure
Washington Oct. 8. Racing King Winter down the Greenland coast the MacMillan Arctic expedition and the Bowdoin and Peary made notable progress south from Etah. The Bowdoin faced near shipwreck in Murkleon Sound and later grounded before righting, while the Peary ferried planes and supplies amid fog and shifting compasses. The voyage included Arctic scenery, native towns near Cape York, and renewed hopes of Nutting’s Viking trail detour as crews logged distance and weather from Melville Bay toward Godthaab and Holstensborg.
