Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Charles Durborow" in English language version.
Charles Durborow, the Philadelphia swimmer, who has to his credit the greatest feat of endurance in the water ever performed in America-48 miles across Delaware Bay in 14 hours and 15 minutes -- is willing to accept the statement of Samuel Richards of Boston that he is an amateur and wants to meet him in order to settle the question of national supremacy in distance swimming.
Charles Durborow of Philadelphia, holder of several swimming records over difficult courses, yesterday undertook to swim from the Battery to Sandy Hook, a performance which had been attempted a few times previous to yesterday, but never accomplished. Durborow's effort also resulted in failure, but not until he had decidedly bettered all previous attempts and had incidentally contributed the greatest swimming performance yet recorded in Eastern waters.
