A special stairwell exhibition marking the 100th anniversary of Gertrude Ederle’s historic achievement as the first woman to swim the English Channel.
A century after Ederle’s remarkable crossing in 1926, this exhibition celebrates her courage, determination and enduring influence on women’s sport and the history of open-water swimming.
The exhibition will showcase objects, contemporary photographs, and memorabilia that bring Ederle’s extraordinary accomplishment to life for a new generation.
