Title: Wreckage of 'Seafarer'
Item Name: Amy Johnson
Maker: Jacobsen, Edna Nichols
Sewerby Hall and Gardens has been lucky to receive as a donation four unique black and white photographs (mounted on an album page) showing the De Havilland DH 84 Dragon aircraft 'Seafarer', piloted by Amy & Jim Mollison after it crashed at Bridgeport, Stratford, Connecticut, USA, on 23 July, 1933.
Title: Wreckage of 'Seafarer'
Item Name: Amy Johnson
Maker: Jacobsen, Edna Nichols

Description:
Four small black and white photographs (mounted on an album page) showing the De Havilland DH 84 Dragon aircraft 'Seafarer' after it crashed at Bridgeport, Stratford, Connecticut, U.S.A. on 23rd July 1933. The photographs were taken by the donor's aunt, Edna Nichols Jacobsen on the morning after the crash and clearly show the extensive damage to the plane, which was then further stripped by souvenir hunters. Amy and Jim Mollison had set off from Pendine Sands on the 21st July, intending for a non-stop flight to New York. However, head winds and navigational issues resulted in higher than expected fuel consumption, and the pair had to make an emergency landing. Both were injured in the crash, although not seriously - it was fortunate that they came down in a swampy area, which cushioned some of the impact. The Mollisons still received a rousing welcome in Boston and later New York and went on to meet President Roosevelt.

Year: 1933
