Such a story is also on several poster across Rowan University’s campus, such as the one posted on a pillar in front of Starbuck In Holly Pointe Common’s. However, as Rick Genda uncovered, the story is likely inaccurate. Whitney was most likely just visiting shipyards near Cape May to inspect goods or the shipping fleet. He likely then travels to Philadelphia stopping at the Inn in the "Glass Town."
