Bath Iron Works Shipyard Then and Now Engraving Recalled
A wood engraving prepared in 1891 for General Thomas W. Hyde shows Bath Iron Works as it stood in 1891 and 1892. It contrasts with today’s plant, which now features fireproof buildings and modern equipment, with only the west office building remaining from the old group. The piece notes leadership shifts, origins from Hyde Foundry, and that the engraved block remains intact after many impressions.
