The William J. Romer was a 19th-century pilot boat built in 1841 by John & James Friend for New York Pilots. She was considered one of the fastest pilot-boats out of New York. In 1846, the Romer sailed across the Atlantic on a special express trip to Liverpool, England. The Romer Shoal Light was named for the Romer, which sank there in 1863.

Construction and service

The pilot-boat William J. Romer, No. 12, was built in New York in 1841 by John & James Friend shipyard, valued at $4,000. She was owned by James J. Wilkie, James Conner, Robert W. Johnson, and George H. Sisco.[1]

On February 9, 1846, the Romer was selected to sail across the Atlantic, for a faster trip than with conventional Packet boats. She went on a special express trip to Liverpool, England to obtain the latest news from Great Britain regarding the United States acquiring land in Oregon and England’s position on the matter.[2]

Pilot Boat William J. Romer

On the way over the Romer overcame a heavy storm. The Cork Harbour was reached on March 10, 1846. Monroe Gale went to Liverpool with his mail and Tribune dispatches. The Romer returned to New York on April 11, 1846.[3] On June 15, 1846, Secretary of State James Buchanan and British Minister Richard Pakenham signed a treaty that settled the Oregon boundary dispute by agreeing upon lat. 49 N. as the boundary-line.[4][5]

On March 12, 1860, the Sandy Hook pilot-boat William J. Romer, No. 12, was sold to go to Texas, to be used as a pilot-boat at the port of Galveston.[6]

On October 10, 1860, New York Sandy Hook Pilot George H. Sisco, of the pilot boat William J. Romer, No. 1, signed a statement along with other pilots, that he was satisfied with the representation he had received from the New York Board of Commissioners of Pilots.[7]

End of service

On July 20, 1863, during the American Civil War the pilot-boat William J. Romer was wrecked off Barnegat Bay. She struck a submerged rock and sank, with the loss of one pilot. The Romer Shoal Light in New York Harbor was named for the Romer that sank there.[8]

Distance from a point to a line

Problem in coordinate geometry In Euclidean geometry, the distance from a point to a line is the shortest distance from a given point to any point on an infinite straight line. It is the perpendicular distance of the point to the line, the length of the line segment which joins the point to nearest point on the line. The algebraic expression for calculating it can be derived and expressed in several ways. Knowing the distance from a point to a line can be useful in various situations—fo...
