Seaplane in the Battery subscriber-fathers-day ways and other facilities hadCaptain Wolfgang Von Gronau of Germany and three companions set their seaplane down at the Battery in New York after blazing a 4,670 mile trail across the Atlantic by way of the Faroe Islands, Iceland, Greenland and Nova Scotia, spending 47 hours in the air. Von Gronau's 4,670 mile flight proved that airplanes were viable for traveling long distances. He later circumnavigated the globe in his Dornier Wal seaplane, starting and ending in Sylt, Germany.
