In 1954, Helen and Frank Schreider set off on their honeymoon in a converted Ford GPA, a military amphibious vehicle capable of both land and water travel. Over ten years, they drove from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego, including navigating the Darien Gap along the coast. Their journey caught the attention of National Geographic, funding further expeditions, including trips across Europe and Asia in a second, larger 'Tortuga II'.
