Notes	Title supplied by cataloger. Mystic Iron Works, 1862-1873, 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. The W.W. Coit was built by George Greenman & Co. in 1864, and her machinery manufactured at the Reliance Machine Co. in Mystic. She served in the Civil War and later operated between Sag Harbor, Greenport (Long Island) and New York City. She burned to the waterline in 1893 in Washington, D.C. George Greenman and Co.was a family firm owned by the three Greenman Brothers. 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. Taken by Everett A. Scholfield, a professional photographer who worked primarily in Mystic and New London from 1865-1913.
