Sailed in Small Vessels Across the Atlantic
A study by the Bankers' Trust highlights early American sea ventures in tiny yachts and ships. It recalls a Calcutta to Boston voyage by a nineteen year old captain with only a world map, the George of Salem bound for India in 1815 with crews averaging under twenty one, and pilots like the 180-ton Mayflower. The piece notes gradual shift from sloops to schooners, and cites 1789 shipbuilding data showing 389 vessels averaging about 50 tons as the hardy merchant marine took shape.
