Discover the Shipbuilding Dynasties that Built Philadelphia's Maritime Industry
The waterfront of Kensington and Fishtown in Philadelphia attracted a host of innovative and hard working shipwrights from America's earliest days. As fleets transitioned from wooden hulled sail boats to iron steamships, the families of Kensington's shipwright dynasties were at the forefront of the global shipbuilding industry throughout the eighteenth and into the nineteenth centuries. Author Gretchen Bell presents the history of maritime Kensington and the shipbuilders that defined Philadelphia's waterfront.
