In the book Steamboat Disasters and Railroad Accidents in the United States, written by Southworth Allen Howland and published in 1840, the following statements were made about the construction of the Home: “We have no evidence that in her model or timbers any reference was had to a capacity for encountering the perils of the ocean; but candor compels us to say that her model, the time of her lying unemployed, and other circumstances, induce the convictions that she was never intended for a sea boat. If she was so intended, then those who had charge of her construction should never again attempt to plan a vessel.”
