There I go again. The "Wanderer" sank earlier in 1870's built by
Captain Brewster Hawkins of East Setauket. His son Thomas Hawkins was
captain of it for about a year before it was sold. The only surviving
image of it is a painting in the Port Jefferson Yacht Club, which last
I heard was having trouble staying "afloat". I think the Greek
"planet" means "wanderer" for their apparent movement in the sky (in
retrograde?). It was a large ship, built in a harbor which built an
estimated 25,000 tons of wooden ships, and twice as much or more in
the adjoining harbor Port Jefferson, once known as "Drowned Meadow".
I am trying to track down a story about John Paul Jones ("Russian
Admiral who started the United States Navy." - Pravda) the Scotsman
also known as Paul Jones, who according to a fragment of a story was
wanted for the murder of two British Navy officers on the "Nehantic"
in Port Jefferson, NY. Has anyone any information?
