This momentous occasion marked Earhart as the first woman to travel across the Atlantic Ocean as a passenger aboard a Fokker tri-motor aircraft. Piloted by Wilmer Stultz and Louis Gordon, Earhart's transatlantic journey began on May 20, 1928, from Newfoundland, Canada, and lasted for approximately 15 hours. The Fokker tri-motor aircraft, a seaplane, braved the vast expanse of the Atlantic, landing safely in Trepassey Bay, Newfoundland, before continuing on to Southampton.

This photograph captures the essence of Amelia Earhart's groundbreaking achievement, as she steps off the seaplane and onto solid ground, surrounded by the admiring crowd. The image serves as a testament to her courage, determination, and the limitless possibilities of human endeavor.
