Richmond dispatch. (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, August 30, 1887, Image 4:
The New York Times reports that the name of Solomon Falkenburg's ship was the Schooner William H. Jones. I have found that this ship was built by John R. Mather. Mather was from a ship-building family and lived in Port Jefferson on Long Island. He built the Schooner William H. Jones in 1861.
