Construction and Private Ownership
Wanderer -- a schooner-rigged yacht built in 1857 in the shipyard of Joseph Rowland at Setauket on Long Island, New York by Thomas B. Hawkins—was originally owned by Colonel John Johnson of New York City and Louisiana.
After a cruise down the Atlantic coast and to the Gulf of Mexico in which she visited Charleston, South Carolina, Brunswick, Georgia, Key West, Florida, and New Orleans, Louisiana, Wanderer returned to New York City where she was soon sold to William C. Corrie of Charleston, South Carolina.

Famous quotes containing the words construction, private and/or ownership:
“No real “vital” character in fiction is altogether a conscious construction of the author. On the contrary, it may be a sort of parasitic growth upon the author’s personality, developing by internal necessity as much as by external addition.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“It is an old adage, “All is fair in love as in war,” but I thought not of general laws, and only felt a private grievance.”
—Jane Grey Swisshelm (1815–1884)
“They had their fortunes to make, everything to gain and nothing to lose. They were schooled in and anxious for debates; forcible in argument; reckless and brilliant. For them it was but a short and natural step from swaying juries in courtroom battles over the ownership of land to swaying constituents in contests for office. For the lawyer, oratory was the escalator that could lift a political candidate to higher ground.”
—Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
