Lyman Jr. and Mari Fleetwood were involved with MEDICO, a humanitarian organization which promoted/provided health care in developing countries. There are several newspaper articles about the Fleetwood's working through MEDICO in Honduras; at the time, some African countries were also supported locations.
Farrell Lines ran a passenger and cargo service and owned the S.S. African Meteor, which traveled from the U.S. (east coast) to SE and West Africa. It is possible that the Fleetwood's took this trip on the S.S. African Meteor to support MEDICO's mission.Dimensions
