THE NEW YORK TIMES, September 2, 1928
* Roald Amundsen death confirmed
* Norwegian polar - arctic explorer
The top of the front page has a two column headline: "AMUNDSEN PONTOON FOUND OFF NORTH NORWAY COAST; HOPE FOR CREW ABANDONED" with subheads that include: "Identification Is Definite" "Norwegians Believe That Nobile Relief Party Perished on Flight to Spitsbergen" and more. This discovery put any hopes of finding the famous arctic explorer alive to rest. First report coverage continues on page 2 with nice photo of Amundsen. Loads of text here, too much to photograph all.
Incomplete issue containing the first 10 pages only, margin wear and chipping but no text loss, should be handled with care.
