Jocunda Sykes was the first witch ever to fly across the Atlantic Ocean on a broomstick, in 1935. [1] This made her, and the broomstick she flew across the Atlantic with, the Oakshaft 79, famous throughout the wizarding world. [2]
There was a bust of Sykes at the Hogwarts Castle's Entrance Hall, near the stairway leading to the Dungeons. [3]
