Uræd – «The egg» that crossed the Atlantic

On the 6th of January 1905 four men fight their way through the black, heavy waves outside Pavilion Beach by Gloucester. It is nearly midnight, and the thunder of the storm and the waves drown the voices crying for help.

As a dark shadow a strange looking, little boat, “Uræd”, are hammering the cliffs outside the sandy beach. Five months earlier the egg-shaped boat left the small fishery-town Aalesund on the west coast of Norway.

18 feet long, and with no lights to show other ship its position, this small steel vessel has been out in the wild Atlantic fighting its way towards America. No the four men on board have reach their goal, but will they get on land alive?
