Description	Two unidentified steam transports lie at the Mystic Iron Works wharf, Pistol Point, Mystic. They are probably in the process of being refitted. The sheerlegs can be seen behind the vessel to the left. Pine Hill is visible in the left background.
Notes	Title supplied by cataloger. The vessels are referred to as "Mallory Steamers" in a related record. Mystic Iron Works, 1862-1873, was headed by Joseph O. Cottrell and David D. Mallory. The company manufactured and fitted engines and boilers for vessels. Its boom period was during and immediately after the Civil War when it fitted and refitted a number of vessels. The company also built one vessel, the iron-hulled screw towboat Montaines. Business fell dramatically after the war. The building also housed the looms of the Oceanic Woolen Mill from the late 1860's to the early 1870's; it burned in 1873. Pine Hill was on the north end of Masons Island, and was reduced by quarrying to make breakwaters at Block Island and Stonington in the 1870's and 1880's. Taken by Everett A. Scholfield, a professional photographer who worked primarily in Mystic and New London from 1865-1913. Albumen print mounted on pale white card, verso light yellow, square corners.
