 dustry it might be well to refer to the shipbuilding 

 which was steadily carried on at the Cove, 



After the year 1819, the date last mentioned in our 

 previous list of vessels built at our Cove, the Enrollment 

 books in the Custom House at Boston do not have a full 

 record of the vessels turned out by our ship carpenters ; 

 but the following list for the fifteen years preceding 1837 

 has been gleaned from various sources : — * 



LIST OF VESSELS BUILT AT COH ASSET FROM 1822 TO 1837. 



* Barber's Historical Collections, p. 455, says : " In five years preceding 1837 

 there were 17 vessels built in Cohasset, the tonnage of which was 2,765, valued at 

 ^110,600."
