Tinkerbelle was a 13.5 foot sailboat in which 47-year-old newspaperman Robert Manry, a copy editor at the Cleveland Plain Dealer, single-handedly crossed the Atlantic Ocean in 1965. He left Falmouth, Massachusetts on June 1 and arrived in Falmouth, Cornwall, England 78 days later greeted by an armada of small boats and a huge crowd. Falmouth’s Mayor Samuel A. Hooper officially welcomed him at the town’s Custom House Quay. Robert Manry’s wife Virginia and his children, Robin and Douglas, were also there, having flown in from Willowick, Ohio.

During the voyage Manry was knocked overboard by big waves, suffered from hallucinations, repaired a broken rudder in mid-ocean, and was woken up one morning by a surfacing submarine.

Tinkerbelle’s official registration number painted on her bow was OH 7013 AR.

Manry later wrote about the voyage and its preparation in his book Tinkerbelle. He died from a heart attack in Union City, Pennsylvania on February 21, 1971. The little wooden Old Town sailboat “Tinkerbelle” is on display indoors in a Ohio museum.
