Funnel, Lockheed Sirius "Tingmissartoq", Lindbergh

Charles Lindbergh and his wife, Anne Morrow Lindbergh, took this aluminum gasoline funnel on their 1933 survey flights across the North and South Atlantic. In December 1933, during the latter part of their trip, the Lindberghs made several unsuccessful takeoff attempts for their flight across the South Atlantic Ocean, from Africa to South America, as calm winds and seas would not allow their heavily loaded plane to rise. This funnel was among the tools and supplies they removed and shipped home from Bathurst, Gambia so they could lighten their load and continue.
