English:
Amelia Earhart monument, Stepney Road, Burry Port
The monolith was unveiled in 1930 to commemorate Miss Amelia Earhart of Boston, USA, the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean. She was the passenger in the seaplane Friendship (piloted by Stultz and Gordon) which landed in Burry Port harbour on June 18th 1928. Amelia Earhart was an aviation pioneer who set many records. In 1932 she was the first woman to fly solo nonstop across the Atlantic Ocean. During an attempt to circumnavigate the globe in 1937, Earhart disappeared over the central Pacific Ocean. She was 39 years old. Despite extensive searches, no trace of the plane or its occupants were found. Grade II listed in 2003 as a well-detailed monument of special historical interest for its association with a landmark in aviation history. |
