Sailor Captain’s 7000 Mile Atlantic Voyage From Alaska Coast
Captain Veling arrived in New York after a 20 day voyage at sea covering over 7000 miles from Katina Alaska to San Francisco. He left Kodiak for Cook Inlet, faced relentless gales, and struggled to find crew. The schooner Velting faced high seas, rigging damage, and near-sinking, but limped into port with two men aiding in steering. The voyage highlighted the Gulf Stream’s route from Florida toward Europe, its vast volume of water, and its historical significance to navigation and exploration.
