Tinkerbelle was a 13.5 foot sailboat in which 47-year-ol 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.
