Dangerous trip across Atlantic Ocean: Man rows boat from NYC to Ireland
Retired rugby player Damian Browne of Galway, Ireland, became the first person to row from New York City to Ireland after his boat made a treacherous arrival on the coast of County Galway in the early morning hours of Tuesday, Oct. 4, 2022, Irish broadcaster RTE reported. Browne left New York City on June 14 in his Cushlamachree, a 20-foot ocean rowing boat that was custom-built for this journey. The term "Cushlamachree" means "darling" or "sweetheart" in Irish, according to Merriam-Webster.
