Image description

A swim across the English Channel by a non-swimmer. Charles Flourens making the crossing using his invention, the hydrosphere, an inflatable rubber ball fitted with two paddle blades turned by his arms. The journey took him 10 hours and 22 minutes. La Manica attraversata da uno che non sa nuotare, e l'ing Carlo Flourens, il quale ha compiuto la traversata da Capo Gris-Nez a Dover con un apparecchio da lui costruito e battezzato idrosfera. Si tratta d'una grossa palla di gomma gonfiata come un pneumatico d'automobile e munita di due pale che vengono azionate col movimento delle braccia. L'ing Flourens ha attraversato la Manica con l'idrosfera in 10 ore e 22 minuti. Illustration for Illustrazione del Popolo, 4-10 November 1934.
