@freemo @Absinthe @doliu666 @metapsyche @Shamar @khird @soberaniamicologica @pschwede @jump_spider @stevenroose @aeveltstra @cwebber @noelle A gift in your honor; journal entry from this day, 1849, in the journal of Herman Melville:

Oct 25  A fair wind — good deal of rain — About noon saw a ship on the other tack. She showed her colors & proved a Yankee. The first vessel that we had seen so near. She excited much interest. By evening blew a very stiff breeze, & we dashed on in magnificent style. Fine moonlight night, & we rushed on thro’ snow-banks of foam. McCurdy invited Adler the Doctor & I into his room & ordered champagne. Went on deck again, & remained till near midnight. The scene was indiscribable. I never saw such sailing before.
