The New York Times had a pictorial page on the building of Weller's boat, and plans for the trip, on June 18, 1911.

A later story reported that Weller launched on July 16, 1911.
(NYT, 7-17-11.)

After that, NYT evidently lost interest in the Weller saga. Did he make it across? Did he make it back?
