 Painting the Town -- Museum of the City of New York
The diary of Robert Underhill, which records his 1856 travels on the Sweepstakes, reveals that Jacob Westervelt, whose sons Daniel and Aaron owned the yard that built the ship, was also traveling on this voyage to San Francisco and the Orient.
Underhill's entries make clear that the older Westervelt, retired from active participation in his family's business, recognized the economic situation facing the port of New York and was seeking other possible venues for the family business.
The Sweepstakes, depicted here in New York Harbor, was owned by Chambers and Heiser, and for her first four voyages she sailed under the command of Captain George E. Lane, a distant cousin of the artist.

Like the earlier Palmer clippers, the Jacob Bell was meant for the China trade, but upon her launching, her owners put her up for San Francisco and she made her maiden Deep Sea Derby run under the command of Captain Kilham around the Horn in 122 days.
David D. Westervelt designed the Contest according to the Low's wishes for a sharp, but not extreme clipper to be larger than the Oriental and smaller than the Surprise, with good carrying capacity and manageable with a small crew.
She was not an extremely sharp clipper, but was said to be "faultless" in model and appearance and was spoken of as "a beautiful ship." She was a fair size out and out clipper measuring 225 x 41 x 22:6 feet, 1717 tons.

 Cleveland - Restaurants - Cowboy Stylin' - clevescene.com
Still, nothing quite prepared us for the most recent culinary shocker: In the heart of tony Bainbridge -- that land of tennis bracelets and Lands' End cotton Drifters -- we found chef-restaurateur Michael Longo dishing up slow-cooked barbecue in a stripped-down setting with all the charm of an El Paso mess hall.
No surprise, then, that diners who come scouting for roast duck, sun-dried cherries, and chèvre are on the wrong trail: Turns out, Cowboy's kitchen is all about pit-smoked brisket, pork butt, and baby-back ribs.
While table appointments are about as humble as a saddle blanket (light, greaseless nachos, for instance, arrive in plastic baskets, and bottles of hot sauce and ketchup flank the paper-napkin dispenser), Longo and his staff (including Cowboy's chef, Jacob Westervelt) cut few corners when it comes to the food.
