his early education and served a seven years' apprenticeship at H. M. Dock 

 Yard School. Later he secured a position as chief draughtsman with ship- 

 building concerns at Belfast, Ireland, and Newcastle-on-Tyne, England. In 

 1889 he came to the United States, becoming a citizen thereof in 1894, and 

 secured employment for a short time with the Government at the Norfolk 

 navy yard. Thence he went to William Cramp & Sons Ship and Engine 

 Building Company, Philadelphia, where he was employed for about five 

 years. 



In September, 1896, he went to Webb's Academy, Fordham Heights, 

 New York City, as professor of naval architecture, a position which he 

 held until his death. His technical education and practical experience ac- 

 quired in the land of his birth made him a man peculiarly fitted for the 

 position. While holding this position he conducted for several years a night 

 class in naval architecture at Franklin Institute, Philadelphia, of which he 

 was a member, and also another night class at Cooper Union in this city. 

 He took great pride in his profession, and because of his large experience 

 was frequently called upon to give expert testimony in admiralty cases. 



Together with J. W. Millard he designed and had built in 1906 for 

 New York City the ferryboats which were named after the five different 

 boroughs. He also designed and had built for the city of St. John the 

 ferryboat Ludlow, the first steel boat built in New Brunswick.
