Aurora
(200
x

feet)
was
built
by
Charles
Mallory
&
Sons
of
Mystic
,
1874
. She was a
wooden-hulled
screw
steamer
, and
proved
hard
to
sell
in a
market
dominated
increasingly
by
iron-hulled
steamers
. She was
finally
sold
at a
loss
after
three
years
. The
Charles
Mallory
&
Sons
shipyard
was
located
on the
east
(Stonington)
bank
of the
Mystic
River
,
approximately
on the
site
of the
present
duPont
Preservation
Shipyard
at
Mystic
Seaport
.
It
produced
a
number
of
sail
and
steam
vessels
from
1851
to
1875
, with the
Civil
War
period
the
most
active
.
George
Greenman
and
Company
was a
family
firm
owned
by
three
of the
Greenman
Brothers
,
George
,
Clark
and
Thomas
. They
built
97
vessels
between
1837
and
1878
. The
shipyard
was
located
at
Adams
Point
in the
Greenmanville
section
of
Mystic
, a
site
that
is
now
part
of
Mystic
Seaport
.
