Sailor Paul Petersen recounts Atlantic voyage amid war news
Paul Petersen returned home last Friday after leaving July 24 for Christiana. He sailed from New York on a Scandinavian American line ship, learned of Europe’s war, and was advised to land quickly. He spent six weeks awaiting a return boat, noting limited war impact beyond business downturn, with Nordic markets disrupted and reliance on the United States for grain. Petersen says Norwegians remain neutral but sympathetic to Germany, wary of England's sea control, and speaks of distressing war stories. He found relief in the Sandy Hook lighthouse sight on return and urged Americans to feel safe abroad.
