Originally built by Randolph Webster of Island Harbour who employed O’Farrel Hughes of South Hill as shipwright. “Phantom Star” as she was then named sailed the Eastern Caribbean and to Puerto Rico for years.
En route from Puerto Rico she ran aground on Seal Island Reef and was badly damaged. The vessel was salvaged and towed into Road Bay where she was beached.
Austin and Egbert Connor were hired to do the reconstruction and modification to accommodate an engine. The work was partly finished when by mutual agreement Austin and Egbert left to finish the building of Maranda Stoute, and O’Farrel Hughes and Emerson Hunte assisted by Eldridge Webster completed the rebuilding which included the installation of an engine by Wallace Richardson. When launched the “Phantom Star” was renamed “Tiny Gull”.
With Eldridge Webster as Captain she traded between Puerto Rico, Anguilla and St. Barths. Some years later the vessel was sold to Island Transport Ltd. and soon after changed hands a couple of times.
She eventually went down on a voyage from St. Croix to St. Thomas
