On investigation it was found that the skipper was Anders Johansson, a fisherman, who with a crew of one man left his home in the Swedish West Coast province of. Bohuslaen on July 25, ':1930, ¦ braved the 15,000 miles or more of |-open-sea-separating-the-two-men- from their goal, the Australian metropolis of Sydney, where the. takipper and his mate now seem to have arrived-about a year later But for the two official telegrams giving names of the skipper and his companion and detalls of loca. tion one would be inclined to doubt the reality of such a fantastic achievement by two lonely sailors in an open boat crossing the immense waters of the great oceans, a” -feat- worthy of the spirit of the Viking nge.
