Autor

In 2009, Howard Veisz left a 35-year legal career and went to sea. After a two-year sailing voyage, he settled in Mystic Connecticut and began work as a volunteer at Mystic Seaport Museum's preservation shipyard. He has since assumed a leading role in preserving Gerda III -- Henny's Boat -- and in reconstructing the history of the boat and of the people who put it to such good use. He has travelled to Denmark to locate and meet with descendants, nephews and nieces of the people who carried out Gerda III's rescue missions; gathered and analyzed writings by members of the Gerda III rescue and resistance group; scoured Danish archives; and visited the docks from which Gerda III and other rescue boats set out. He continues to play a leading role in preserving Gerda III and is often invited to speak about the Danish Rescue and its lessons for today's world.
