Biography of Ephriam Frisby written by Marie (Pulver) Hutchens History of the ship Arkwright ARKWRIGHT Ship: 1267 tons: 197' x 37' x 24' Built: 1855 at Portsmouth, New Hampshire Under the command of Captain Daniel P. Caulkins the large square-rigger Arkwright sailed from Liverpool on 30 May 1866. Her passengers consisted of 450 Mormons led by Elder Justin C. Wixom, who was assisted by Elders Henry Luff and Hyrum P. Folsom. During the thirty-seven-day voyage-her average time for westward passages-there were four births and five deaths. When the ship arrived at New York on 6 July, Elders John T. Caine and Thomas B. H. Stenhouse met the emigrants and arranged for them to continue their journey to Wyoming, Nebraska. The Arkwright was a two-decker with a round stern and a billethead. From 1863 to 1868 she was in the service of the Dramatic Line. She was later registered at San Francisco, rigged as a three-masted bark, and traded in the Pacific. This vessel sailed the seas for at least thirty-seven years. Her registration was surrendered at Port Townsend, Washington, in 1892 with no reason given.
