Ole Evinrude

from 200 Norwegians · host 200 Norwegians

The thirteenth episode of 200 Norwegians tells the story of Ole Evinrude, the man who invented the first successful outboard motor. Born in Norway and raised in Wisconsin, Evinrude struggled through failures and setbacks before his persistence led to an invention that changed boating forever. From a melting ice cream cone on a hot summer day to a machine that revolutionized life on America’s lakes and rivers, his journey is one of determination and ingenuity. In this episode, I speak with Bob Jacobson, author of Ole Evinrude and His Outboard Motor.
