Ward, Stanton & Co., Newburgh NY

Most recent update: February 15, 2009.


This yard was started by Luther C. Ward and Samuel Stanton, formerly of Highland Furnace and Washington Iron Works, and was famous for the construction of several very fine yachts.  It closed in 1885, as a result of an uninsured fire.  The yard was located on South Water Street, near the foot of South William Street.  See the site from the air on Google here.  If anyone has any information to add to the table below, please send it to me at timcolton@aol.com
