The Nautilus came next. She was also built by Messrs. Higgins & Gif- 

 ford, and was a lap-streaked dory 15 ft. keel, 19 ft. over all, 6 ft. 7 in. wide 

 and 2 ft. 3 in. deep. She was manned by William A. and Asa W. Andrews, 

 brothers, of Beverly, grandsons of the late Zebulon Andrews of Essex, and 

 sailed from South Boston June 7, 1878. Put into Beverly and sailed again 

 June 12, made Bishop's Rock Lighthouse in the English Channel July 28, 

 put into Mullion Cove July 31, and arrived at Havre, France, Aug. 8. 



[the dory "nautilus" est mid-ocean.] 



June 1, 1879, Capt. and Mrs. Lewis G. Goldsmith sailed from Boston for 

 England in the Uncle Sam, a boat 18 ft. over all, 6 ft. 4 in. beam and 3 ft. 

 2 in. deep. They were obliged to put back, sailed again June 5, put into 

 Cape Island, N. S., June 16, arrived at Halifax, N. S., June 20, touched at 

 Canso, N. S., July 4 and Sydney, C. B., July 7, arrived at St. Johns, N. F., 

 Aug. 7, set sail again Aug. 11, were disabled in a gale Aug. 16, and were 

 taken off by a passing ship Aug. 19 and landed at New York. 



Capt. Henry Otto of Baltimore had a boat built the same year for the 

 purpose of making a voyage to Liverpool and Hamburg and back. She 

 was 18 ft. long, 6 ft. beam, 25 in. deep and cat-rigged, but the voyage was 

 probably abandoned, as we have seen no account of Capt. Otto embarking 

 from port. 



Capt. Herbert F. Burrill of Falmouth and Andrew R. Coan of Nantucket 

 set sail from Boston July 9, 1879, for a voyage to Australia and thence to 

 San Francisco in the Golden Gate, a boat 19 ft. long, 5 ft. 4 in. wide and 2 

 ft. 6 in. deep, schooner-rigged and spreading 75 yards of canvas. After 

 meeting with many misadventures they landed at a little fishing village on 

 the coast of Brazil, and were sent home by the American Consul at Bahia..
