On July 2, 1937, Amelia Earhart and her navigator, Fred Noonan, disappeared over the Pacific Ocean during their ambitious attempt to circumnavigate the globe.
They had departed Lae, New Guinea, earlier that day, heading for the tiny Howland Island, over 2,500 miles away. The U.S. Coast Guard cutter Itasca, stationed near Howland to guide them, received radio transmissions from Earhart as the flight neared its destination.
The messages indicated she was unsure of their position and that fuel was running low. Her final, fragmented transmissions included the cryptic phrase, "We are on the line 157 337… we are running on line north and south". This indicated she was following a navigational line that passed through Howland. No further contact was made, and the pair was never found, sparking a mystery that persists to this day.
