Richard Byrd's 1926 Arctic Expedition. Members devise means to transport their Fokker airplane from ship to shore through ice floes
The 1936 Byrd expedition to fly an airplane over the North Pole. Lacking a place to dock, at Kings Bay, Spitsbergen, Norway, expedition members lash lifeboats together for a raft to float their Fokker F-VII Tri-motor airplane, the "Josephine Ford," from their ship, the SS Chantier, to the shore. Snow is falling as they complete the lashing and begin fastening planks across the lifeboats to complete the raft. Using poles and oars, they maneuver the raft close to the Chantier. Then, using her cranes, they lower the airplane's fuselage onto the raft followed by its wing, that they place atop it. They fasten the load with lines and propel the raft and plane through the ice floes, using poles and oars. Writing on the airplane reads: "Fokker, Josephine Ford, Byrd Arctic Expedition." Closeup of two oarsmen rowing and another pushing ice floes away from the raft. View from under the airplane wing, of the SS Chantier with ice floes piled up beside her.
