Remarkable female mariner's odyssey from New York to Marseilles
A remarkable woman fled a troubled home in New York at fourteen, dressed as a man, sailed as a mate aboard a vessel across the Mediterranean and back, later assuming command after the captain died. Her search for her child spans Europe and the U.S., with leading figures in Cairo hospitals praising her mercy work and resilience.
