A March 24, 1810 journal entry by Isaac Mayo states: weighed anchor stood down the harbour, passed Sandy Hook, where there are two light-houses, and put to sea, first and second day out most deadly seasick, oh could I have got on shore in the hight of it, I swear that uncle Sam, as they call him, would certainly forever have lost the services of at least one sailor.
Osim toga, knjiženje iz ožujka 24., 1810. pisca Isaaca Mayoa govori: teško sidro stajalo je dolje u luci, prošlo je Sandy Hook, gdje su dvije svijetle kuće, i staviti u more, prvi i drugi dan najsmrtonosnije morske bolesti, oh, da li sam mogao ići na putovanje u visine, kunem se, taj ujak Sam, kako ga već zovu, sigurno bi zauvijek izgubio usluge barem jednog mornara.
