The Christopher Columbus Cutter, 45 Tons, in which Mr. Webb recently crossed the Atlantic, 1858. The cutter sailed from New York on the 19th of August, and occupied forty-five days in the voyage. She is...53 feet in length...44 feet keel, 16 feet wide, and the mast is 50 feet 6 inches long...'A more frail-looking bark in which to cross the stormy Atlantic (says a person who saw her at Southampton) it is scarcely possible to conceive; and...few would imagine, or scarcely believe it when told them, that this miniature vessel could have travelled over such a wild waste of waters.'...[She] was built at Stamford, Connecticut, in seven months, every part of the work, except the stepping of the mast and the rigging, being executed by Webb himself, even to the cutting down and shaping of the timber...Webb is...twenty-nine years of age, and a shipwright by trade, his nautical knowledge...having been gained while working as a carpenter on board a Liverpool packet-ship. This is the seventeenth voyage he has made across the Atlantic...The voyage was conducted throughout on strict temperance principles, and the stores of provisions were of a very modest and unepicurean character, consisting only of biscuit, mackarel, and hams, with a little salt beef'.
