Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Schooner Harry Landell off Sandy Hook. Built in North Belleville, New Jersey. Showing its early 1866 white hull. Her name pennant on the fore, with an American flag and commissioning pennant on the main indicate government service, possibly as a mail carrier after the civil war. The houseflag or private signal aft is eerily like that of the famous Boston clipper, Gamecock. Harry Landell registered a home port of Newark. Perhaps a captain in common at the schooner’s helm, or merely a similar flag, followed by the American ensign on the mizzen gaff boom? The northeast atlantic shore of New Jersey houses several lights, but these are most likely the earliest incarnations of sandy hook light and south stack on the point. The other location option is the Conover Beacon in the city of Leanardo, and its counterpart, the Chapel Hill Lighthouse. Together they marked the main channel range into Sandy Hook Bay.
