Biographical History

John W. Danenhower was an Arctic navigator who participated in the Jeannette Expedition (1879-1881) under the command of Lieutenent Commander George Washington DeLong. The steamship became trapped in the ice while attempting to reach the North Pole during the Spring of 1881. Danenhower was one of the few survivors of this tragic expedition. He returned to Oswego, New York after the failed expedition and later married Helen Sloan. They went on to have two children, one being Sloan Danenhower. John Danenhower ended his own life in 1887 at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland.
