HARLAN AND HOLLINGSWORTH
The most prolific iron shipbuilder in the country, with 75 iron hulls by 1860, and a builder of railroad cars. In the war it built three monitors for the Navy, Patapsco, Saugus and Napa. Last-minute Navy changes delayed them and cut its profit.

Track in service today runs beside the site, on a line owned by a smaller railroad.
