LONDON CALLINGPRESS & INTERVIEWS
A veteran’s unfinished
Atlantic story.
U.S. Army veteran Bryan Fuller is preparing for a 2027 Boston-to-London ocean row after a 2012 Atlantic crossing and an interrupted attempt in 2024.
The story in one paragraph
Bryan Fuller, captain of London Calling Row, plans to lead a crew approximately 3,250 miles from Boston Harbor to London in 2027. He previously rowed from Gran Canaria to Barbados in 2012. Mechanical and electrical failures suspended the 2024 expedition; the crew was airlifted to safety and the boat, Nimbus, was recovered. The crew is now preparing for another attempt, aiming to complete the first Boston-to-London row.
