Joseph Henderson (pilot) Captain Joseph Henderson (September 9, 1826 - October 7, 1890) was an early American harbor pilot who guided large vessels in and out of the New York harbor. He was a legendary figure in New York during the 1880s, well known for being one of the oldest and wealthiest of the Sandy Hook Pilots, which operated in what is now the Port of New York and New Jersey.

Fokker F.11 The Fokker F-11 was a luxury flying boat produced as an 'air yacht' in the United States in the late 1920s. Technically the aircraft was the Fokker Aircraft Corporation of America's Model 9. It was sold in North America as the Fokker F-11 and was offered in Europe as the Fokker F.XI. By the time the first six aircraft had been constructed, it was already evident that the design was not going to sell well. A few were sold, two to notable multi-millionaires; Harold Vanderbilt and Garfield Wood each purchasing one. One was bought by Air Ferries in San Francisco. The F-11A cost $40,000 but the price was slashed to $32,500 as the depression set in during 1930. The F-11 was a commercial failure.
