Adolf Adam Riggenbacher and his parents arrive in New York City, USA, aboard the liner La Bretagne. The family has emigrated from Basel, Switzerland, to start a new life in America. In the 1920s, after having adapted his name to Adolph Rickenbacker, he will found The Rickenbacker Manufacturing Company and, with vaudeville musician George Beauchamp, he will design and patent the world's first electric guitar, known as The Frying Pan, because of its long neck and round body.
