Book Synopsis Bath Iron Works by : Andrew C. Toppan
Download or read book Bath Iron Works written by Andrew C. Toppan and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2002-08-28 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bath Iron Works was established by Gen. Thomas Hyde in 1884 and launched its first ship in 1891. Since then, the shipyard on the Kennebec River has built dozens of luxurious yachts, hardworking freighters, tugs, trawlers, lightships, and more than two hundred twenty warships for the U.S. Navy. Today, Bath Iron Works continues a shipbuilding tradition that began nearly four hundred years ago when the first ship built in America was constructed just a few miles downriver from Bath. Bath Iron Works showcases a unique collection of photographs that provides a rare view inside one of the nation's great shipyards. The book shows the yard's origins in a few simple buildings, its expansion into a modern shipbuilding facility, and its rapid growth into an industrial powerhouse during World War II. During these years, Bath Iron Works produced famous ships such as the America's Cup defender Ranger, the yachts Aras and Hi-Esmaro, the record-setting destroyer USS Lamson, and fully one fourth of all destroyers built for the U.S. Navy during World War II. Bath Iron Works gives an insider's view of these great vessels and many others, as skilled craftspeople turn raw materials into complex ships, each uniquely suited to its purpose. This collection of shipbuilding photographs brings to life the proud history of Bath Iron Works.

Book Synopsis Vanishing Ironworks of the Ramapos by : James M. Ransom
Download or read book Vanishing Ironworks of the Ramapos written by James M. Ransom and published by Fall Creek Books. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of early iron mining and manufacturing, and what remains to be seen today, in the hills that cross the northeastern border of New Jersey into New York. Centrally located in the Colonies, New Jersey was in an especially advantageous position: its waterways provided power and excellent transportation and its dense forests furnished the charcoal essential for making pig and bar iron. During the two major wars on American soil New Jersey and New York ironworks turned out badly needed supplies--among them the huge chains and booms used to block the British advance up the Hudson during the Revolution--and ordnance, made and shipped in record-breaking time, for Union troops. This is also the story of the hardy men who made this industry possible--where they came from, what their homes and company towns were like, how they lived, and how they left their mark on American history. James M. Ransom spent twenty-five years inspecting remains of mines (seventy-five are described and located), furnaces and forges, dams and millraces, and other ruins closely associated with iron production in the Ramapo region. But not all was on-site research. He also searched through old account books, newspapers, and records, evaluating their historical importance. When word spread of his intense interest in the field, he was offered material unknown to historians--in particular, a collection of old ledgers, some dating back two hundred years, and a group of rare photographs from 1865 to 1905. From such extensive investigation, Ransom uncovered previously unknown facts, filled in gaps, and corrected mistakes made by earlier writers on the subject.

Book Synopsis Mastering Iron by : Anne Kelly Knowles
Download or read book Mastering Iron written by Anne Kelly Knowles and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2013-01-15 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Veins of iron run deep in the history of America. Iron making began almost as soon as European settlement, with the establishment of the first ironworks in colonial Massachusetts. Yet it was Great Britain that became the Atlantic world’s dominant low-cost, high-volume producer of iron, a position it retained throughout the nineteenth century. It was not until after the Civil War that American iron producers began to match the scale and efficiency of the British iron industry. In Mastering Iron, Anne Kelly Knowles argues that the prolonged development of the US iron industry was largely due to geographical problems the British did not face. Pairing exhaustive manuscript research with analysis of a detailed geospatial database that she built of the industry, Knowles reconstructs the American iron industry in unprecedented depth, from locating hundreds of iron companies in their social and environmental contexts to explaining workplace culture and social relations between workers and managers. She demonstrates how ironworks in Alabama, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia struggled to replicate British technologies but, in the attempt, brought about changes in the American industry that set the stage for the subsequent age of steel. Richly illustrated with dozens of original maps and period art work, all in full color, Mastering Iron sheds new light on American ambitions and highlights the challenges a young nation faced as it grappled with its geographic conditions.

A routine that keeps him functioning, a job as a tattoo artist that keeps his rent paid and food in his belly, and if he's alone through it well, there are worse things to be.

Book Synopsis Cornell Iron Works by : Katharine Cornell Gorka
Download or read book Cornell Iron Works written by Katharine Cornell Gorka and published by . This book was released on 2013-05-04 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One day in 1819, a twelve-year old boy named George Cornell left his family’s farm on Long Island and traveled to New York City to become an apprentice blacksmith. By the 1870s, the company he created, and that was carried on after him by his brothers, became the largest iron works in the United States. The J.B. & W.W. Cornell Iron Works, and later the J.B. & J.M. Cornell Iron Works, worked with the leading architects of their day to take New York’s buildings from four stories in the 1850s to thirty stories by 1899. Drawing on a wealth of sources from historic company archives and New York City architectural history, this book tells the story of Cornell Iron Works, from its origins and rise to prominence in the 1800s, to the challenges it faced in the early 1900s, to its reemergence and renewed success in the 20th and 21st centuries. With Cornell now in its 8th generation of family leadership, this story has unique insights for family businesses and for American business more generally. It also fills an important gap in New York City’s architectural and business history. The role played by the iron works as New York went from being a city of wood and brick to a city of iron and steel has been largely untold until now. Most importantly, this is the story of a company in which an ethos of integrity and concern for others that originated in 19th century America provides a foundation for success today.
